Indian Freedom Struggle

Choose the Correct Answer

Correct Answer : Option d

Explanation
Statement 1 is not correct: On August 7, 1905, with the passage of the Boycott Resolution in a massive meeting held in the Calcutta Town Hall, the formal proclamation of the Swadeshi Movement was made. ‘Amar Sonar Bangla’, the national anthem of present-day Bangladesh, was composed by Rabindranath Tagore, and was sung by huge crowds marching in the streets on October 16, 1905. The first ten lines of this song constitute Bangladesh's national anthem, adopted in 1971 during its liberation war.

Statement 2 is not correct: The painting of ‘Bharatmata’ was created by Abanindranath Tagore during the Swadeshi movement. It depicts the nationalist icon of the stature of the Goddess, yet it is distinct from any known deity of the Hindu pantheon.
