Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The United India House was established in 1910 in Seattle, USA, by revolutionaries Taraknath Das and G.D. Kumar [t4]. Before this, G.D. Kumar had set up the 'Swadesh Sevak Home' in Vancouver, modeled after Shyamji Krishnavarma’s India House in London [t4]. Taraknath Das was a prominent revolutionary who published 'The Free Hindusthan' and advocated for armed rebellion against British rule [t2][t8]. Due to increasing restrictions and surveillance by British and North American authorities, these activists shifted their base from Canada to the United States to continue their nationalist activities [t3][t7]. The United India House served as a critical center for organizing Indian immigrants and students, eventually contributing to the broader revolutionary atmosphere that led to the formation of the Ghadar Party in 1913 [t1][t6].
