Question

Consider the following freedom fighters:Barindra Kumar GhoshJogesh Chandra ChatterjeeRash Behari BoseWho of the above was/were actively associated with the Ghadar Party?

Accepted Answer

Correct Answer: D — 3 only (Rash Behari Bose)Step-by-step Solution:Barindra Kumar Ghosh (1): Barindra Kumar Ghosh (younger brother of Sri Aurobindo) was associated with the Anushilan Samiti — one of the earliest revolutionary organisations in Bengal. He was a key figure in the Alipore Bomb Case (1908), arising from the Muzaffarpur assassination attempt. He was NOT associated with the Ghadar Party. ✗Jogesh Chandra Chatterjee (2): Jogesh Chandra Chatterjee was a founder of the Hindustan Republican Association (HRA), founded in October 1924 in Kanpur along with Ramprasad Bismil and Sachin Sanyal. He was active in revolutionary activities in North India but was NOT associated with the Ghadar Party. ✗Rash Behari Bose (3): Rash Behari Bose WAS actively associated with the Ghadar movement. He was one of the masterminds of the Delhi-Lahore Conspiracy (1912) — the bomb thrown at Viceroy Hardinge during the Delhi Durbar procession. He subsequently went to Punjab to assume leadership of the Ghadar movement (coordinating with Ghadar Party leaders for a planned armed uprising in 1915). After the 1915 uprising failed, he escaped to Japan, where he later established the Indian Independence League and played a key role in the formation of the Indian National Army (INA). ✓Why other options are incorrect:Options A, B, and C: Incorrect because Barindra Kumar Ghosh and Jogesh Chandra Chatterjee were not associated with the Ghadar Party.Key Concept: Ghadar Party: Founded in 1913 in San Francisco by Har Dayal, Sohan Singh Bhakna, and others among Indian immigrants (mostly Punjabi Sikhs) in North America; published the Ghadar newspaper; planned an armed uprising in Punjab in February 1915; uprising was betrayed and suppressed; key figures: Har Dayal, Kartar Singh Sarabha, Vishnu Ganesh Pingle, and Rash Behari Bose (who coordinated in India). Anushilan Samiti/HRA are different organisations.
