Correct Answer: B

Solution :

[b] Naujawan Bharat Sabha was a left-wing Indian association that sought to foment revolution against the British Raj by gathering together worker and peasant youths. It was founded by Bhagat Singh in March 1926 and was a more public face of the Hindustan Republican Association. Ganesh   also called Babarao Savarkar, was the founder of the Abhinav Bharat Society. In 1906, Ajit Singh participated in the important session of the Congress held at Calcutta, to seek out and forge links with patriots who wished to go beyond the Congress' methods of petitioning the British rulers. On returning to Punjab they founded the Bharat Mata Society which was called 'Mahboobane Watan' in Urdu. This was an underground organisation, and besides Ajit Singh, Kishan Singh, Mahashay Ghasita Ram, Swaran Singh and Sufi Amba Prasad were some of its trusted lieutenants and active members. Their main objective was to prepare and re-enact 1857 on its 50th anniversary in 1907. George Sydney Arundale (1878-1945) was third President of The Theosophical Society from 1934 to 1945.
