Which tribal organization played a role in the Hill State Movement and later formed a political party?

The correct answer is: a) All Party Hill Leaders Conference (APHLC).

The All Party Hill Leaders Conference (APHLC) was a tribal organization that played a role in the Hill State Movement and later formed a political party. The APHLC was formed in 1960 by a group of tribal leaders from the Khasi, Jaintia, and Garo Hills of Meghalaya. The APHLC’s main goal was to achieve greater autonomy for the Hill States from the Government of Assam. The APHLC played a leading role in the Hill State Movement, which culminated in the creation of the state of Meghalaya in 1972. The APHLC became the first government of Meghalaya and ruled the state for most of the time until 2003.

The other options are incorrect because:

• The Khasi Students’ Union (KSU) is a student organization that was founded in 1948. The KSU has been involved in a number of protests and agitations, including the Hill State Movement. However, the KSU has never formed a political party.
• The Garo National Council (GNC) is a political party that was founded in 1948. The GNC has been a major player in the politics of Meghalaya. However, the GNC was not involved in the Hill State Movement.
• The Federation of Khasi Jaintia Garo People (FKJGP) is a tribal organization that was founded in 2009. The FKJGP has been involved in a number of protests and agitations, including the anti-hydropower agitation in Meghalaya. However, the FKJGP has never formed a political party.
