Solution
The correct option is B Mrinal Gore
Women, who have to face the brunt of scarcity of supplies and rising prices, gave a show of their strength as an organised entity in 1972. Under the leadership of the socialist leader Mrinal Gore, women in Mumbai participated in a demonstration which came to be known as the laatne morcha (the rolling pin demonstration). Commodities like oil, ghee, rava, maida, and kerosene had become scarce and expensive. To protest against the scarcity and price-rise of essential commodities, women came together brandishing their rolling pins and took part in the demonstration. In this movement, women showed their collective strength as an organised entity.
