#1. Mian Jawahar Singh, Sh.Badri Nath and Sh. Jwala Singh were the leaders of which of the following revolutionary movements of H.P.?
Explanation:
Mian Jawahar Singh, Sh. Badri Nath, and Sh. Jwala Singh were indeed associated with the Gadar Party, which was a revolutionary movement aiming to overthrow British colonial rule in India. The Gadar Party was primarily formed by Indian expatriates in North America in 1913 and had several leaders from various parts of India, including Himachal Pradesh. These leaders, along with others, were part of the broader struggle for India’s independence, and their involvement in the Gadar Party symbolized their efforts to fight against British imperialism.
Other options:
- Praja Mandal: While this movement was also significant in Himachal Pradesh, it was mainly led by figures like Sh. Lala Karam Singh and aimed at political reforms and democratic rights for people under the princely states. However, Mian Jawahar Singh and the others were not associated with this movement.
- Pajauta Movement: This was another regional movement in Himachal Pradesh but wasn’t connected to the leaders listed.
- Dumh Movement: This was a socio-religious movement, again unrelated to the leaders in question.
Thus, the B. Gadar Party is the correct answer, as these leaders were part of that revolutionary movement.
