    The Satyagraha Sabha was founded in February 1919 by:

    A.

    Abdul Ghaffar Khan

    B.

    Motilal Nehru

    C.

    Subhash Chandra Bose

    D.

    Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi

    Correct option is D

    The correct answer is (D) Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi.

    Explanation:

    Satyagraha Sabha was founded by Mahatma Gandhi in February 1919 in Ahmedabad as a response to the Rowlatt Act passed by the British colonial government. The act gave the British authorities sweeping powers to arrest and detain individuals without trial, which was considered unjust and repressive.

    The Satyagraha Sabha was formed to organize a non-violent resistance movement (Satyagraha) against the Rowlatt Act, and it played a pivotal role in mobilizing people for the Non-Cooperation Movement later on.

    Information Booster:

    Abdul Ghaffar Khan,  known as Frontier Gandhi, was a prominent leader and freedom fighter from the North-West Frontier Province (present-day Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan).

    • He founded the Khilafat Movement and led the Khudai Khidmatgar (Servants of God) movement, which was aimed at social reform and opposing British rule. However, he was not involved in the founding of the Satyagraha Sabha.

    Subhash Chandra Bose known as Netaji, was a leading nationalist and a key figure in the Indian independence movement. He is famous for his role in leading the Indian National Army (INA) and for his slogan "Give me blood, and I will give you freedom". Bose was an advocate for militant nationalism and armed resistance against British rule, which differed from Gandhi's philosophy of non-violence.​
