Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 1936.
The All-India Kisan Sabha was founded in Lucknow in April 1936 with Swami Sahjanand Saraswati as its first president. The organization emerged out of the growing discontent among Indian peasants due to oppressive land revenue systems, high rents, and exploitation by landlords under British rule. It aimed to unify farmers across India to demand agrarian reforms, fair land rights, and the abolition of the zamindari system. The formation of the Sabha marked a significant moment in the Indian freedom struggle, as it brought the issues of rural farmers and landless laborers into the national political discourse, aligning closely with socialist ideals.
