Explanation

Option (A) Kanshi Ram is the correct answer. According to the textbook context, the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) was formed in 1984 under the leadership of Kanshi Ram. The other options (Sahu Maharaj, B.R. Ambedkar, and Jotiba Phule) are incorrect because they were inspirations for the party, not its founders. The text clearly states that the BSP 'Draws inspiration from the ideas and teachings of Sahu Maharaj, Mahatma Phule, Periyar Ramaswami Naicker and Babasaheb Ambedkar.'

  3. Step 3: Find the statement 'Formed in 1984 under the leadership of Kanshi Ram' which identifies Kanshi Ram as the founder.

  4. Step 4: Verify that other options (Sahu Maharaj, B.R. Ambedkar, Jotiba Phule) are listed as sources of inspiration, not founders.

  5. Step 5: Conclude that Option A (Kanshi Ram) is the correct answer.
