Explanation

This paired question tests two independent historical relationships and requires both to be correct in the stated order. Vande Mataram was composed by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay and first published in his novel Anandamath (1882). The first two stanzas were adopted as India's National Song. Reading the stem closely separates Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay from other names in the period: the question tests one defined act, location or institutional decision, not overall prominence. This development forms part of the changing national movement, in which constitutional negotiation, mass mobilisation, boycott, civil disobedience and revolutionary action followed different strategies; Exact dates and organisational decisions For statement two, the supported answer is Chavdar Tank (pond) in Mahad Maharashtra. These events marked the beginning of the Dalit rights movement in Maharashtra. He also burned the Manusmriti on 25 December 1927 at Mahad. Ambedkar led a procession of untouchables to the tank. Ambedkar to assert the right of untouchables to use water from the Chavdar Tank (pond) in Mahad Maharashtra. The Mahad Satyagraha (20 March 1927) was led by B. The revised item avoids claiming more than the source establishes and distinguishes participation, leadership, foundation, ratification and later reorganisation where those roles differ. On that evidence, the supported choice is Chavdar Tank (pond) in Mahad Therefore the correct ordered pair is Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay followed by Chavdar Tank (pond) in Mahad Maharashtra. An option containing only one correct component must be rejected because the stem asks for a complete two-part match.
