B. Bal Gangadhar Tilak
C. Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel
D. Subhas Chandra Bose

Answer 1

Hint: The slogan “you give me blood and I will give you freedom” conveys a rather patriotic and radical feeling. It delivers an extremist idea and was first said in 1994, in Burma.

Complete answer: Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose's powerful speech sent electrifying waves of 'love for the country' when he gave the slogan “you give me blood and I will give you freedom”. It not only made him bring allies in World War II but also terrorized the British Empire. However, at the same time, it also gave hope to the Indian people. It made Indians believe in themselves. They were proud of their glorious past and believed that they could fight for their country as free people. Subhash Chandra Bose, using his communication, created an Indian army that could strategically fight against the British. As he formed his Indian National Army (INA), he spoke very strongly and deeply, his voice touching the weak bone of every soldier in his army. His blood and free speech contributed to the biggest struggle for Indian independence. Subhas Chandra Bose was an Indian nationalist who was born on 23 January 1879 in Cuttack. He also rose to become the president of the Indian National Congress in 1938 and 1939.
Therefore, the option “D” is the correct answer.

Note: Slogans played a very essential part in the independence struggle. From ‘Inquilab Zindabad” to “Swaraj is my birthright and I shall have it”, these motivated the common masses to mobilize and instil in them a pro-independence sentiment.
