Solution

The correct option is C 1893
In the 1800s, it was forbidden for lower caste people to use public roads that were reserved only for the upper castes. In an act of open defiance, Ayyankali rode a Villuvandi through the public roads of Venganur in 1893, opening the roads for the depressed classes.
