With reference to the ideological landscape, objectives, and political outcomes of Jayaprakash Narayan (JP) and the 1974 'Student Movement' (Bihar Movement), consider the following statements: 1. This movement was started in March 1974 by students against rising inflation, unemployment, reforms in the education system, and corruption, which was later transformed by Jayaprakash Narayan into the broad ideological dimension of 'Total Revolution', encompassing social, economic, political, cultural, ideological, and moral transformation. 2. Inspired by the Gandhian and Sarvodaya ideas of 'Party-less Democracy' and 'Community Democracy', Jayaprakash Narayan emphasized the decentralization of power, but during this movement he never raised a direct demand for parliamentary politics or the resignation of the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. 3. After the call for 'Total Revolution', JP formed 'Sangharsh Samitis' to organize youth and students across the country, and a major democratic objective of this movement was to prevent authoritarian tendencies and ensure the accountability of the state legislature and the central government. 4. As a result of this movement, political mobilization against the Congress government in Bihar became so intense that it later prepared the background for the Emergency, and ultimately paved the way for the formation of the Janata Party government in the 1977 general elections.

Consider the following statements regarding the Champaran Satyagraha (1917) and Bihar's role in the freedom movement: 1. At the special request of Rajkumar Shukla, Mahatma Gandhi came to Champaran, where under the 'Tinkathia system', European indigo planters compelled farmers to compulsorily cultivate indigo on 3/20th of their total land, against which this Satyagraha became Gandhi's first successful civil experiment in India. 2.
