Correct Answer

Option C — 2 and 3

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is 2 and 3.

Key Points

• 2. Constitution Day (India) — 27 January is NOT correct. Constitution Day (Samvidhan Divas) is 26 November, marking the adoption of the Constitution in 1949. It has been observed as such since 2015.
• 3. Human Rights Day (World) — 29 January is NOT correct. Human Rights Day is 10 December, marking the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948.
• 1. National Voters Day (India) — 25 January ✓. Observed since 2011, marking the founding of the Election Commission of India on 25 January 1950.
• The incorrect pairs are 2 and 3, giving option (c).

Additional Information

• Note the deliberate trap: 26 November is Constitution Day (adoption) while 26 January is Republic Day (commencement). The Constitution was adopted on 26 November 1949 and came into force on 26 January 1950 — the date chosen to honour the Purna Swaraj declaration of 1930.
• India's National Human Rights Commission was set up under the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993. Human Rights Day in India is also observed on 10 December.
• Other national days: 15 August — Independence Day; 2 October — Gandhi Jayanti and International Day of Non-Violence; 31 October — Rashtriya Ekta Diwas; 14 November — Children's Day; 15 November — Janjatiya Gaurav Divas; 23 January — Parakram Diwas.
