Correct option is C

Dr. B. R. Ambedkar established the ‘Bahishkrit Hitakarini Sabha’ in 1924. The primary objective of this organization was to uplift and promote the welfare of the "Bahishkrit" (socially ostracized or untouchables) classes. Dr. Ambedkar, being a strong advocate for the rights of Dalits and the marginalized sections of society, used this platform to create awareness, demand equal rights, and improve the educational and social conditions of these communities. The Sabha played a critical role in Dr. Ambedkar's movement for social justice and was an essential part of his efforts to combat caste-based discrimination in India.
