Consider the following statements regarding labour movements in colonial India and select the correct combination:
- The early labour movements were primarily focused on economic demands, such as higher wages and improved working conditions, and did not initially engage with anti-colonial politics.
- The growth of industrial towns like Bombay and Calcutta in the late 19th century gave rise to a more organized working class, which began forming trade unions to challenge colonial policies.
- British industrial policies actively encouraged the formation of trade unions in India, as they believed this would prevent large-scale rebellions.
- Despite facing repression, labour movements gradually became linked with the broader nationalist struggle, particularly during the 1920s and 1930s.
