Solution

The correct option is D Both A and R are true.
In the post-Independent India, the first general elections were held from 1951 to 1952. This was immensely significant for Indian democracy as it represented India's determination to take the path of democracy after its freedom from the British rule. It was a daunting task as the whole world was watching the newly Independent country that would conduct voting for a large section of population that did not know how to read and write.
