    Question

    ‘Home Rule League’ of Annie Besant was centred at which of the following places in India?

    A.

    Bombay

    B.

    Madras

    C.

    Banaras

    D.

    Calcutta

    Correct option is B


    The correct answer is (b) Madras.
    · Annie Besant founded the Home Rule League in 1916, and it was centred in Madras (now Chennai).
    · The league aimed at achieving self-governance for India within the British Empire, similar to the dominions of Canada and Australia.
    · The movement worked through public meetings, speeches, and literature to educate and mobilize the Indian populace for the cause of home rule.
    Information Booster:
    Bombay:
    · While Bombay (now Mumbai) was an important center for political activities, the Home Rule League led by Bal Gangadhar Tilak was based there, not Annie Besant's.
    Banaras:
    · Banaras (now Varanasi) was a significant cultural and educational center, but it was not the central hub for Annie Besant's Home Rule League.
    Calcutta:
    · Calcutta (now Kolkata) was the capital of British India until 1911 and an important political center. However, it was not the base for Annie Besant's Home Rule League.
