The renewed women's movement in India differed from the earlier one in terms of:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Organisational strategy as well as ideologies
Option (1) Leadership as well as shared understanding — Incorrect. Leadership means who guides the movement, and shared understanding means the common views of its members. Neither appears as an area where the second phase differed.
Option (2) Membership as well as regional spread — Incorrect. Membership is who joins, and regional spread is how far the movement reaches across the country. Neither appears among the changes of the renewed movement.
Option (3) Organisational strategy as well as ideologies — Correct. Organisational strategy is how the movement arranges and carries out its work, and ideology is the set of ideas behind it. The renewed movement of the mid-1970s changed in both, though many of its concerns stayed the same.
Option (4) Public issues as well as leadership — Incorrect. New issues such as violence against women did come up. Leadership, however, never appears as a point of change, so the pair does not hold.
