SSC CPO 2022 PYQ — Question 89

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 1927.

• The Temple Entry movement was a social reform movement led by B. R. Ambedkar in the 1920s and 1930s to secure the right of Dalits (formerly known as “untouchables”) to enter and worship in Hindu temples.
• The movement was sparked by the caste-based restrictions on temple entry that was in place in many parts of India, particularly in the southern states of Travancore and Kerala.
• These restrictions prevented Dalits and other marginalized groups from entering temples and participating in temple rituals, which were considered a fundamental aspect of Hindu culture and tradition.
