Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. Calcutta Town Hall.

The formal proclamation of the Swadeshi movement was made on 7 August 1905 at the Calcutta Town Hall (now Kolkata). This proclamation marked the beginning of the Swadeshi movement, which was a significant part of the Indian independence struggle. It was launched in response to the British decision to partition Bengal, and the movement aimed to promote Indian goods and boycott British products as a means of resisting colonial rule. The Calcutta Town Hall served as a crucial venue for this historic event.
