Who of the following revolutionaries set up the United India House in the USA?
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].
