Explanation
★Items 2, 3 and 4 are not related to J.P. Narayan, so the answer is 2, 3 and 4 only.

★The Parliament of Religions is an interfaith conference, famously addressed by Swami Vivekananda in 1893, not by JP.
★Ganesh Utsav as a public festival was popularised by Bal Gangadhar Tilak to build nationalist sentiment.
★The Suddhi Andolan was a reconversion movement led by Swami Shraddhanand of the Arya Samaj.
★None of these three has any connection with JP's life or movements, which is why they are the answer.

★JP helped form the Janata Party in 1977, uniting the opposition after the Emergency.
