In the second phase of the Indian women's movement, changes took place in which of the following?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → Both its organisation and its ideologies
Option (1) Its ways of organising women — Incorrect. The organisational strategy did change in the second phase. But the ideologies changed as well, so this gives only one of the two changes.
Option (2) Its ideologies about gender — Incorrect. The ideologies did change in the second phase. But the organisational strategy changed too, so this covers only half of what changed.
Option (3) Its main concerns and demands — Incorrect. Many of the concerns remained the same in the second phase. New issues such as violence against women were added, but the main concerns did not change.
Option (4) Both its organisation and its ideologies — Correct. In the second phase many concerns remained the same. The changes came both in organisational strategy and in ideologies, so both parts of this option hold.
