Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option D

Home Rule Movement

Solution :

The correct option is Home Rule Movement.

The famous slogan, "Swaraj is my birthright and I shall have it," was coined by the prominent nationalist leader Bal Gangadhar Tilak (also known as Lokmanya Tilak). He declared this to inspire the spirit of self-rule (Swaraj) among the Indian masses during the struggle for independence from British colonial rule.

In 1916, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, along with Annie Besant, launched the Home Rule Movement in India. The primary objective of this movement was to attain self-government (Home Rule) for India within the British Empire using peaceful and constitutional means. Tilak used this slogan as a powerful rallying cry during this campaign to mobilize public support and instill national pride, making it permanently associated with the Home Rule Movement.
