A. When Jotiba Phule in Maharashtra pointed to the suffering of the depressed castes, he was demanding economic and social justice.
C. The National Movement against a government that was oppressive was a struggle for democracy and justice, rights and equality.

The Constituent Assembly was expected to express the aspirations of those who had participated in the movement for independence (STATEMENT D). Democracy, equality and justice were ideals that had become intimately associated with social struggles in India since the nineteenth century. When the social reformers in the nineteenth century opposed child marriage and demanded that widows be allowed to remarry, they were pleading for social justice (STATEMENT B). When Swami Vivekananda campaigned for a reform of Hinduism, he wanted religions to become more just. When Jyotiba Phule in Maharashtra pointed to the suffering of the depressed castes, or Communists and Socialists organised workers and peasants, they were demanding economic and social justice (STATEMENT A). The national movement against a government that was seen as oppressive and illegitimate was inevitably a struggle for democracy and justice, for citizens’ rights and equality (STATEMENT C).
