UPSC 2010: Consider the following statements: 1. The “Bombay Manifesto” signed in 1936 openly opposed the preaching of socialist ideals. 2. It evoked support from a large section of business community from all across India. Which of the statements given above is/are correct ?
(a)1 only
(b)2 only
(c)Both 1 and 2
(d)Neither 1 nor 2
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) Both 1 and 2
The 1936 ‘Bombay Manifesto’, signed by 21 prominent industrialists, expressly denounced Jawaharlal Nehru’s advocacy of socialist ideas (statement 1). It was welcomed by a wider spectrum of Indian big-business groups fearful of state-socialism, so statement 2 is also correct. Therefore option (c) ‘Both 1 and 2’ is right; options (a)/(b) overlook one statement, while (d) rejects both.
