Urban middle-class
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: a) The Sikh community.
The Akali Dal is a political party in India that was founded in 1920. It is the principal political party in the state of Punjab, and it has been in power in the state for most of the time since 1967. The Akali Dal is a Sikh nationalist party, and it represents the interests of the Sikh community in Punjab. The party’s main focus is on the protection of Sikh rights and the promotion of Sikh culture. The Akali Dal has also been a strong advocate for the rights of farmers in Punjab.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Option b) is incorrect because the Akali Dal does not primarily represent the interests of farmers. The party does have a strong base of support among farmers, but it also represents the interests of other groups in Punjab, such as the Sikh community and the urban middle class.
- Option c) is incorrect because the Akali Dal does not primarily represent the interests of industrialists. The party does have some support among industrialists, but it is not its primary focus.
- Option d) is incorrect because the Akali Dal does not primarily represent the interests of the urban middle class. The party does have some support among the urban middle class, but it is not its primary focus.
