Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The Punjab Naujawan Bharat Sabha was established in 1926 by Bhagat Singh as an open wing of revolutionaries to conduct political work among the youth, peasants, and workers [1]. Its primary objective was to mobilize these exploited sections of society into a mass movement against British imperialism [3]. The Sabha aimed to foster a spirit of patriotism and secularism, drafting rules that prohibited communalism and promoted tolerance. It served as a platform for socio-economic and political mobilization, educating young men on doctrines like democracy and communism [2]. While it had a strong student base in urban Punjab, its mission extended to villages where activists held classes for peasants to explain socialism [3]. The organization sought to establish an independent republic of laborers and peasants, reflecting its commitment to organizing the masses beyond just the student community [2].
