Explanation:

Statement 1: Though Gandhi popularized the term harijan, which literally meant children of god, it was coined by the Gujarati Bhakti era poet-saint Narsi Mehta, to refer to the children of Devadasis.
According to other source the medieval devotional poet Gangasati used the term to refer to herself during the Bhakti movement, a period in India that gave greater status and voice to women while challenging the legitimacy of caste. Gangasati lived around the 12th-14th centuries and wrote in the Gujarati language.
Statement 2: Gandhi started publishing a weekly journal of the same name on 11 February 1932 from Yerwada Jail during British rule.Gandhi focussed on social and economic problems in this work, much as his earlier English newspaper, Young India, had done from 1919 to 1932.
