The correct option is B (b) Only 2
Kalighat painting was a product of the changing urban society of the nineteenth-century Calcutta. It was first of its kind in the Indian subcontinent that expressed subaltern sentiment and addressed customers directly. It started on a religious note with the subjects being Hindu Gods and Goddesses alon with their incarnations. However, over time, social sentiments came to be expressed in the medium of paper and colours.
