पुढील दोन विधानांपैकी कोणते योग्य आहे?
(a) साउथ इंडियन लिबरल फेडरेशन हे अॅन्टी होमरूल लीग या नावानेही ओळखले जात असे.
(b) साउथ इंडियन लिबरल फेडरेशन ने होमरूल सध्या लागू करू नये असा अहवाल माँटेग्यूला दिला.

The correct answer is Option B (Only (b)).

Key Points:
• South Indian Liberal Federation (Justice Party):
• Establishment: In 1916, Dr. C. Natesa Mudaliar, Sir P. Theagaraya Chetty, and Dr. T.M. Nair founded the South Indian Liberal Federation (SILF) in Madras, popular as the Justice Party after its English newspaper *Justice* (NOT officially known as 'Anti Home Rule League').
• Stance on Home Rule: SILF represented the non-Brahmin interests in Madras Presidency. They strongly opposed Annie Besant's Home Rule Movement, arguing that granting Home Rule at that juncture would simply establish a 'Brahmin Raj' and oligarchy.
• Deputation to Montagu: When Secretary of State Edwin Montagu visited India in 1917, SILF submitted a detailed memorandum stating that Home Rule should NOT be granted to India until non-Brahmins received adequate communal representation and educational upliftment.
• Hence, only statement (b) is correct (Option 2).
• Key Takeaway: The South Indian Liberal Federation (Justice Party) petitioned Edwin Montagu that Home Rule should not be granted immediately to prevent upper-caste hegemony.
