Explanation

The Hind Mazdoor Sabha (HMS) was a central trade union organization established in India in 1948. It was formed through the merger of the Hind Mazdoor Panchayat and the Indian Federation of Labour, aiming to create a strong, independent trade union movement with socialist leanings. The prominent founders of the Hind Mazdoor Sabha included socialist leaders and trade unionists such as **Ashok Mehta, T.S. Ramanujam, and G.G. Mehta**. These individuals played a crucial role in shaping the early trajectory of the organized labor movement in post-independence India. The other options list individuals associated with different political or social movements and are not directly linked to the founding of the Hind Mazdoor Sabha.
