Detailed Explanation
The 1974 Bihar student movement is a milestone in Indian political history. In March 1974, Patna University students raised their voices against rising inflation, corruption, unemployment, and food crisis, forming the 'Bihar Student Struggle Committee'. Students requested Jayaprakash Narayan (JP) to lead this movement. Accepting this, JP called for 'Total Revolution' based on seven revolutions. At the historic rally in Patna's Gandhi Maidan on June 5, 1974, JP proclaimed Dinkar's famous lines. This movement shook national politics, resulting in the declaration of Emergency on June 25, 1975. Hence, statement 4 is false.

Consider the following statements regarding the social and religious reform movements in 19th-century India and their founders/institutions: 1. The main objective of the 'Brahmo Samaj', established by Raja Ram Mohan Roy in 1828, was to oppose idol worship, polytheism, and priestcraft, and to propagate monotheism and the teachings of the Vedas, but the Brahmo Samaj never supported Western education or the moral principles of Christianity. 2.
