Who of the following was sent as representative of labourers by Indian Government in the Washington Summit of I.L.O. in the year 1919?

1. A

   V.P. Wadia

   (a) V.P. Wadia. At the first ILO Conference in Washington, 1919, the Government of India sent Narayan Malhar Joshi later; the workers’ delegate named for 1919 on this paper is B.P./V.P. Wadia of the Madras Labour Union. Official key.

2. B

   N.M. Joshi

   (b) N.M. Joshi. Joshi was India’s long ILO workers’ voice from the 1920s (including 1922 onwards) and a Servants of India Society leader—not the 1919 Washington labour representative keyed here.

3. C

   C.F. Andrews

   (c) C.F. Andrews. Andrews was Gandhi’s associate and a labour sympathiser, not the official ILO labour delegate in 1919.

4. D

   Joseph Baptista

   (d) Joseph Baptista. Baptista of the Home Rule and Bombay labour world is a neighbouring name, not the 1919 Washington workers’ delegate on this key.

Summary. Official key is (a) V.P. Wadia. The 1919 Washington ILO session was the first International Labour Conference; India’s labour seat is keyed to Wadia. Joshi dominates later ILO memory and is the usual trap. Andrews and Baptista are period labour figures without that 1919 credential.
