In which year was the temple entry movement started by Bhimrao Ambedkar?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 ie. 1927

  • The Temple Entry Movement led by Bhimrao Ambedkar began in 1927. This movement aimed to challenge and dismantle the caste-based discrimination that restricted lower-caste individuals, particularly Dalits, from entering temples in India.
  • Ambedkar and his followers organized protests to assert their right to access temples, which were often considered exclusive spaces for higher castes.
  • The movement was a significant step in Ambedkar's broader fight for social justice and the upliftment of Dalits, paving the way for future legal and social reforms.
