Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

The correct options are
A It was established in 1921.
B Demanded democratic government and social equality.
C They protested against land reforms.

Nationalists from the coastal Andhra region, which was then a part of the Madras Presidency, also supported the movement in the 1940s. The movement escalated to issues such as land reforms, and people started protesting against the Doras or Razakars, who were basically the zamindars of the Hyderabad State.
