Lal Bahadur Shastri was born on ______.

2 October 1904

The correct answer is Option (3) - 2 October 1904

Lal Bahadur Shastri, the former Prime Minister of India, was indeed born on 2^nd October 1904. He was born in Mughalsarai, a town in the present-day state of Uttar Pradesh, India.

Shastriji, as he is fondly remembered, played a significant role in India's struggle for independence and later served as the Prime Minister of India from 1964 to 1966. He was known for his simplicity, humility, and integrity, and is remembered for his slogan "Jai Jawan Jai Kisan" ("Hail the soldier, Hail the farmer"), which emphasized the importance of both the armed forces and agriculture in nation-building.

Lal Bahadur Shastri's birthdate, 2^nd October 1904, coincides with the birthdate of another prominent figure in Indian history, Mahatma Gandhi, who was born on the same day in 1869. It's worth noting that 2^nd October is also celebrated as Gandhi Jayanti, a national holiday in India, to commemorate the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi.
