Show answer & explanation

Answer: (A) V.P. Wadia

Explanation

The official (provisional) key gives V.P. (B.P.) Wadia, founder of the Madras Labour Union (1918), as the answer. Note: most standard sources name N.M. Joshi as the workers' delegate nominated to the 1919 ILO conference in Washington, so check this against UPPSC's final key.
