Correct answer: (a) V.P. Wadia
Explanation
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
