Explanation:

Dalit Panther was formed in the year 1972 in Maharashtra.

Chipko Movement was started by the villagers of Uttarakhand in 1973. Sunderlal Bahuguna was an important leader of this movement.

In January 1988, the Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) an organisation of the farmers from western Uttar Pradesh and Haryana regions organised the Meerut agitation.

Anti Arrack movement- When the BKU was mobilising the farmers of the north, an altogether different kind of mobilisation in the rural areas was taking shape in the southern State of Andhra Pradesh. It was a spontaneous mobilisation of women demanding a ban on the sale of alcohol in their neighbourhoods. Stories of this kind appeared in the Telugu press almost daily during the two months of September and October 1992. Women took out a procession in Hyderabad in 1992, protesting against the selling of arrack.
