Who gives the first call of ‘India for Indians’ for Swarajya?
(A) Raja Ram Mohan Rai
(B) Vedant Sharma
(C) Swamiji
(D) Dayanand Saraswati
Correct Answer : D
Explanation :
The first call for 'India for Indians' for Swarajya (self-rule) is often attributed to Bal Gangadhar Tilak, not Dayanand Saraswati. Tilak, a prominent Indian nationalist leader, emphasized the need for self-rule and the assertion of Indian identity. Dayanand Saraswati, on the other hand, was a 19th-century religious and social reformer who founded the Arya Samaj but is not specifically associated with the call for Swarajya.
