Q49 (CISF/2019) History & Culture › National Movement (1857–1947)

The Congress leader Swami Ramananda Tirtha was active in the freedom struggle in which of the following Princely States?

Explanation

Swami Ramananda Tirtha (born Venkatesh Bhagvanrao Khedgikar) was a prominent freedom fighter, educator, and social reformer who served as the principal leader of the Hyderabad State Congress. He spearheaded the struggle against the autocratic rule of the 7th Nizam, Mir Osman Ali Khan, and the oppressive activities of the Razakars. Under his leadership, the people of the Hyderabad State launched the "Join India" movement to demand integration with the Indian Union post-1947. His persistent activism and mobilization of the masses played a decisive role in the political climate that led to Operation Polo in 1948, which eventually integrated the princely state of Hyderabad into India. He is widely revered as the 'Surya' (Sun) of the Hyderabad freedom struggle.
