Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 1 and 2 only.
Jayaprakash Narayan’s (JP) concept of Total Revolution (Sampoorna Kranti) was a holistic call for change across seven dimensions: social, economic, political, cultural, ideological, educational, and spiritual. Its primary goal was to eradicate corruption and protect democracy from authoritarianism.
Unlike violent insurgencies, it emphasized non-violent mass mobilization to decentralize power, ensuring it reached the grassroots level. It sought a radical transformation of the Indian society and state through peaceful, democratic means rather than armed struggle or privatization.
