Options:

Bombay

Nagpur

Ahmedabad

Calcutta

Correct Answer:

Nagpur

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 2- Nagpur

The Jhanda Satyagraha or Flag Satyagraha of 1923 was held in Nagpur.

It was a civil disobedience movement launched by the Indian National Congress to assert the right to fly the Indian Tricolor. The movement was sparked by the arrest of a group of Congress volunteers in Jabalpur for hoisting the flag. Thousands of people from all over India participated in the movement, and many were arrested. The movement eventually led to the British government agreeing to allow the Indian flag to be flown in certain public places.

The Jhanda Satyagraha was a significant event in the Indian independence movement, and it helped to raise awareness of the Indian nationalist cause.
