"जर देवाने अस्पृश्यता सहन केली, तर त्याला मी देव मानणार नाही." असे उद्‌गार कोणी काढले ?

The correct answer is Option A (Lokmanya Tilak - at the second conference of depressed classes).

Key Points:
• Historic Declaration by Lokmanya Tilak (1918):
• In March 1918, the All India Depressed Classes Conference (अखिल भारतीय अस्पृश्यता निवारण परिषद) was organized in Bombay under the leadership of Maharshi Vitthal Ramji Shinde and presided over by Sayajirao Gaekwad of Baroda.
• Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak delivered a historic and impassioned speech declaring: *"If a God were to tolerate untouchability, I would not recognise him as God at all!"* (जर देवाने अस्पृश्यता सहन केली, तर त्याला मी देव मानणार नाही!).
• Tilak asserted that there is no scriptural or divine sanction for untouchability in ancient Vedic philosophy, equating social discrimination to a severe moral blight on Indian society.
• Key Takeaway: Lokmanya Tilak proclaimed 'If God tolerates untouchability, I won't recognise Him as God' at the 1918 Depressed Classes Conference.
