Correct answer: (b) Shahjahanpur
Explanation
- A
Chauri Chaura
Chauri Chaura in Gorakhpur district is remembered for the 1922 police-station burning that led Gandhi to suspend Non-Cooperation. Ram Prasad Bismil was not born there, and the June 2021 Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav birth-anniversary event of the Culture Ministry was not staged at Chauri Chaura.
- B
Shahjahanpur
Shahjahanpur is the birthplace of Shaheed Ram Prasad Bismil (11 June 1897) and the town with which his family, early revolutionary work and memory are tied. In June 2021 the Ministry of Culture, as part of Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav, marked his birth anniversary at Shahjahanpur in Uttar Pradesh. That is why (b) is the official key.
- C
Rampur
Rampur is a Rohilkhand district known for the Raza Library and Nawabi heritage. It is not Bismil’s native place, nor the venue chosen for the 2021 Culture Ministry commemoration of his jayanti.
- D
Ballia
Ballia is associated with the 1942 parallel government and leaders such as Chittu Pandey, not with Bismil’s birth. The 2021 jayanti function was not held there.
Summary. Official key is (b) Shahjahanpur. Bismil was born there on 11 June 1897 and later became a leading figure of the Hindustan Republican Association and the Kakori conspiracy. Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav programmes in 2021 placed his jayanti in that home district. Chauri Chaura, Rampur and Ballia have other freedom-struggle associations and were not the Culture Ministry venue. Honour the stored letter (b).
