Answer 1

Hint: The book ‘Hind Swaraj’ literally translated means ‘Indian Home rule’. This book consists of the author’s views of what Swaraj means, and what modern mechanism is according to him. This book was written in the year 1909 when India was fighting for independence from the Britishers.

Complete answer step by step: In the famous book ‘Hind Swaraj’ written by the freedom fighter Mahatma Gandhi, in the year 1909, he declared that the British rule in India, was established in India with the cooperation of the Indians, and had survived for a period of almost 200 years only because of the cooperation by us. If we, Indians refused to cooperate with them, British rule in India would have collapsed within a year and we would have attained independence and gotten Swaraj way back.
Option A. Jawaharlal Nehru was also a freedom fighter for India. He wrote a book named, ‘Discovery of India’ in the year1946, just one year before India got independence.
Option B. Subhash Chandra Bose was a freedom fighter and Indian politician who wrote the book ‘The Indian Struggle’.
Option C. Mahatma Gandhi was the freedom fighter who wrote the book ‘Hind Swaraj’ in the year 1909.
Option D. Bal Gangadhar Tilak was an Indian activist and nationalist who wrote a lot of books. One of his most famous works is, ‘Karma Yoga Shastra’ and the ‘Srimad Bhagavad Geetha’.
The correct answer to this question is option C - Mahatma Gandhi.

Note: Just like the book ‘Hind Swaraj’, few other freedom fighters and political leaders wrote books. For example, ‘Annihilation of Caste’ by B.R.Ambedkar, ‘Nationalism’ by Rabindranath Tagore, etc.
