- D. I-a, II-b, III-c, IV-d (Correct answer)
Correct Answer
Option D — I-a, II-b, III-c, IV-d
Detailed Solution & Explanation
The correct answer is I-a, II-b, III-c, IV-d.
Key Points
- Matching the revolutionary organisations abroad with their headquarters: Swadeshi Sevak Home (I) → Vancouver (a); United India House (II) → Seattle (b); Yugantar Ashram (III) → San Francisco (c); and INA / Azad Hind Fauj (IV) → Rangoon (d).
- The Yugantar Ashram in San Francisco was the headquarters of the famous Ghadar Party, formed by Indian revolutionaries (including Lala Har Dayal) on the west coast of North America.
- The INA (Azad Hind Fauj), revived by Subhas Chandra Bose, was closely associated with Rangoon (Burma) during its campaign towards India.
- This gives the combination I-a, II-b, III-c, IV-d, making option (D) correct.
Additional Information
- The revolutionary organisations abroad and their bases: the Ghadar Party at San Francisco (1913, Sohan Singh Bhakna and Lala Har Dayal), the India House at London (Shyamji Krishna Varma), the Berlin Committee in Germany, and the Anushilan Samiti in Bengal.
- The Ghadar movement planned the abortive 1915 mutiny in Punjab, timed to the outbreak of the First World War.
- Group these with Madam Bhikaji Cama, who unfurled an early version of the Indian flag at Stuttgart in 1907.
