Explanation

The SNDP (Sri Narayana Dharma Paripalana) Movement led by Sri Narayana Guru in Kerala fought for the rights of lower-caste Ezhavas. It actively campaigned for temple entry rights and access to public roads previously barred to lower castes (statement 4). The movement also demanded the right to admission to schools for Ezhava children (statement 1) and pushed for reservation in government jobs (statement 2). Statement 3 about scheduling of deprived castes is not directly associated with the SNDP Movement's core agenda.
