Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

In 1940, Subhas Chandra Bose launched a movement for the removal of the Holwell Monument in Calcutta, which commemorated the 'Black Hole' tragedy and was seen as a symbol of British imperialist propaganda. To strengthen this agitation, Bose formed an alliance with the Muslim League in Bengal. This collaboration was part of a broader strategy to unite various political factions against British symbols of authority following his resignation from the Congress presidency [2]. The movement gained significant momentum, leading the Bengal government, headed by Fazlul Huq, to eventually remove the monument to appease the protesters [1]. While Bose also met with Hindu Mahasabha leaders like Savarkar during this period to discuss revolutionary strategies, the specific political alliance for the Holwell Monument agitation in Calcutta was forged with the Muslim League.
