Options:

Germany

Belgium

Poland

Sweden

Correct Answer:

Germany

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 1- Germany

Madam Bhikaji Cama became the first person to hoist the Indian flag on foreign soil on August 22, 1907, in Germany, at the Second International Socialist Congress in Stuttgart.

Cama was a revolutionary who fought for India's independence from British rule. She was also a feminist and a socialist. She was forced to leave India in 1902 due to her political activities, but she continued to fight for India's freedom from abroad.

The tricolour that Cama unfurled in Stuttgart was the first Indian national flag to be flown in a foreign country. It was a green, white, and saffron flag with the words "Vande Mataram" written on it.

Cama's act of unfurling the tricolour in Stuttgart was a powerful symbol of India's struggle for independence. It inspired other Indians to fight for their freedom and it helped to raise awareness of the Indian independence movement around the world.
