With reference to Congress Socialist Party, consider the following statements : 1. It advocated the boycott of British goods and evasion of taxes. 2. It wanted to establish the dictatorship of proletariat. 3. It advocated separate electorate for minorities and oppressed classes. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

The correct option is (d) because the Congress Socialist Party (CSP) rejected the "dictatorship of the proletariat" in favor of democratic socialism and strongly opposed separate electorates, viewing them as a tool for communal division. Option (a) is the most tempting wrong choice because the CSP was influenced by Marxism; however, they sought to work within the Congress framework to radicalize it rather than adopting the specific anti-democratic or tax-evasion strategies mentioned. The core concept being tested is the ideological distinction between the CSP, the mainstream Gandhian Congress, and the Communist Party of India during the 1930s.
