Correct option is A
The Correct Answer Is: (A) 1915
Explanation:
The Hindu Mahasabha was founded in 1915 as a reaction to the growing influence of Muslim fundamentalism and the rise of the Muslim League during the early 20th century.
The Hindu Mahasabha aimed to unite Hindus to promote their socio-political interests and to resist the efforts of Muslim separatism and the division of India.
It was established by Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, and it became one of the leading organizations advocating for the protection of Hindu rights during British colonial rule.
The formation of the Hindu Mahasabha coincided with the time when Muslim communal organizations were becoming more active, leading to increasing religious polarization in the country.
