Which of the following leaders is not associated with AITUC?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → Jayprakash Narayan
The All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC), formed in Bombay in 1920, brought together diverse ideologies: the communists led by S.A. Dange and M.N. Roy, the moderates led by M. Joshi and V.V. Giri, and the nationalists such as Lala Lajpat Rai and Jawaharlal Nehru. M.N. Roy, S.A. Dange and V.V. Giri thus led groups within the AITUC; Jayprakash Narayan was not one of its leaders.
NCERT (2025-26): “Workers’ Movements … The first trade union was established in April 1918 in Madras by B.P. Wadia, a social worker and member of the Theosophical Society. During the same year, Mahatma Gandhi founded the Textile Labour Association (TLA). In 1920, the All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC) was formed in Bombay. The AITUC was a broad-based organisation involving diverse ideologies. The main ideological groups were the communists led by S.A. Dange and M.N. Roy, the moderates led by M. Joshi and V.V. Giri and the nationalist movements which involved people like Lala Lajpat Rai and Jawaharlal Nehru.…” |
