Explanation: Morarji Desai (1896-1995) was a prominent figure in the Indian freedom struggle, known for his dedication to Gandhian principles. He was a strong advocate of Khadi, naturopathy, and prohibition. Morarji Desai served as the Chief Minister of Bombay State and later as Deputy Prime Minister from 1967 to 1969. Notably, he made history by becoming the Prime Minister of India from 1977 to 1979, marking the first time a non-Congress party member held this position. Kannada writer Shivarama Karanth, awarded with Padma Bhushan, and Hindi writer Fanishwarnath Renu, awarded with Padma Shri, returned their awards in protest against the suspension of democracy. By and large, though, such open acts of defiance and resistance were rare. Chaudhary Charan Singh (1902-1987) was a prominent figure in Indian politics. He served as the Prime Minister of India from July 1979 to January 1980. He played a significant role in the formation of the Janata Party in 1977 and served as Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister from 1977 to 1979. Charan Singh was also the founder of the Lok Dal, a political party with a focus on rural issues and the welfare of farmers. |
