Explanation:

Statement 1 and 2: The term refers to several Indian religious movements parallel to but separate from the historical Vedic religion. The srama?a tradition includes Jainism, Buddhism,and others such as the Ajivikas, Ajnanas and Carvakas.Srama?as held a view of samsara as full of suffering (Dukka). They practiced Ahimsa and rigorous ascetism. They believed in Karma and Moksa and viewed rebirth as undesirable.Vedics, on the contrary believe in the efficacy of rituals and sacrifices, performed by a privileged group of people, who could improve their life by pleasing certain Gods.
Statement 3: Sramanism, emphasizing thought, hard work and discipline, was one of the three strands of Hindu philosophy. The other two included Brahmanism, which drew its philosophical essence from Mimamsa.The third and most popular strand of Indian philosophical thought revolves around the concept of Bhakti or Theism, based on the idea of God, as understood in most parts of the world. So, Bhakti was not a part of the Sramana tradition.
