Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : Madam Bhikaji Cama

The correct answer is Madam Bhikaji Cama.

• Madame Bhikaji Cama is referred to as the "Mother of the Indian Revolution." Rustom Cama, a wealthy lawyer in Bombay, was her husband.
• She became ill after working as a social worker during the 1897 Bombay Plague outbreak and was sent to Britain for treatment in 1901/2.
• Cama identified with the Indian Home Rule Society and Krishnavarma's India House, both of which were more extreme than Naoroji's.
• She went to the International Socialist Congress in Stuttgart in 1907. Cama spoke to the delegates in Stuttgart and unfurled the Indian Tricolor Flag (green, yellow, and red) in the center, with Bande Mataram written on it.
• This was the first time an Indian flag was flown outside of India.
• It was the first time an Indian flag was flown in a foreign country, and it served as a model for the Indian tricolor.
• Following the assassination of Sir Curzon Wyllie in 1909, Cama relocated to Paris and started publishing Bande Mataram, a monthly publication. 

• Aruna Asaf Ali was a prominent figure in India's independence movement, and she is best known for hoisting the Indian national flag at the Gowalia Tank Maidan in Bombay during the Quit India Movement in 1942. She stayed involved in politics after independence, eventually becoming Delhi's first Mayor.
• Sarojini Naidu was a key figure in India's fight for freedom from colonial rule, advocating for equal rights, women's emancipation, and anti-imperialist ideas.
• Pritilata Waddedar was an Indian subcontinent Bengali militant nationalist who was active in the Indian independence movement.
