Where was the India House established to work for India’s liberation from British possession?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. London.
India House was established in London in 1905 by Shyamji Krishna Varma as a centre for Indian students and revolutionaries working for India’s independence from British rule. It became a hub of political activism, hosting nationalist discussions, distributing revolutionary literature, and inspiring freedom fighters such as Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, Lala Hardayal, and Madan Lal Dhingra. The British government later shut it down due to its involvement in anti-colonial activities.
Other options:
-
Berlin had revolutionary activities during World War I but no India House.
-
Kabul hosted Indian revolutionaries later, not India House.
-
San Francisco was the base of the Ghadar Party, not India House.
