Correct answer: (b) Vinayak Damodar Savarkar
Explanation
- A
Bhagat Singh
(a) Bhagat Singh. He led Hindustan Socialist Republican Association circles in the 1920s, not the 1904–06 Abhinav Bharat. He is not the key.
- B
Vinayak Damodar Savarkar
(b) Vinayak Damodar Savarkar. Mitra Mela of Nashik (1904) was recast as Abhinav Bharat Society in 1906 by V. D. Savarkar, with Ganesh Savarkar. That stored founder is the official key. The group inspired Italy’s Young Italy model in name.
- C
Barindra Kumar Ghosh
(c) Barindra Kumar Ghosh. He belonged to the Anushilan / Yugantar stream in Bengal, a different revolutionary society.
- D
Pulin Bihari
(d) Pulin Bihari. Pulin Behari Das built the Dhaka Anushilan Samiti, not Abhinav Bharat.
Summary. Official key is (b) Vinayak Damodar Savarkar. Abhinav Bharat grew from Nashik’s Mitra Mela under the Savarkar brothers. Bhagat Singh, Barindra Ghosh and Pulin Das head other organisations. Neighbouring names are Mazzini, India House London, and the Nasik conspiracy. Honour Savarkar for this paper.
