Correct Answer: Option D

The Hind Mazdoor Sabha (HMS) was founded in 1948 in Howrah by socialists, Forward Bloc followers, and independent unionists.

Key founders included: Basawon Singh (Sinha), Ashok Mehta, R.S. Ruikar, Maniben Kara, Shibnath Banerjee, R.A. Khedgikar, T.S. Ramanujam, V.S. Mathur, and G.G. Mehta.

R.S. Ruikar was elected as the President, and Ashok Mehta as the General Secretary.

The HMS absorbed the Royist Indian Federation of Labour and the Hind Mazdoor Panchayat, which was formed in 1948 by socialists who left the increasingly communist-dominated AITUC (All India Trade Union Congress).

Therefore, Ashok Mehta, T.S. Ramanulam, and G.G. Mehta were among the founders of the Hind Mazdoor Sabha.

Hence, option d is the correct answer.
