Question:

In a drama, Naresh spoke, “Swaraj is my birth right and I shall have it.’’ Who among the following Indian freedom fighters said this slogan?

Options:

Ambika Charan Majumdar

Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak

Mahatma Gandhi

Bhagat Singh

Correct Answer:

Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 2- Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak.

Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak was a prominent leader of the Indian independence movement. He is known for his radical and aggressive stance against British rule. He was also a strong advocate of Swaraj, or self-rule.

In 1906, Tilak gave a speech in which he said, "Swaraj is my birthright and I shall have it." This slogan became a rallying cry for the Indian independence movement and inspired millions of Indians to fight for their freedom.

Tilak was imprisoned several times by the British for his political activities. He died in 1920, but his legacy continues to inspire people around the world.

The other three options are also prominent Indian freedom fighters, but they did not say the slogan "Swaraj is my birthright and I shall have it."
