Mahatma Gandhi

Muhammad Iqbal

Correct Answer:

Muhammad Iqbal

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → Muhammad Iqbal

The song "Saare Jahan Se Achha" was actually not composed by a freedom fighter, but by a poet and philosopher Allama Muhammad Iqbal. While the song became a powerful anthem during the Indian independence movement, Iqbal wrote it as a patriotic poem for children in Urdu. It was later set to music and adopted by freedom fighters.
