In which city was the Jhanda Satyagraha or Flag Satyagraha of 1923 held?
Answer
Correct Answer : d ) Nagpur
Explanation :The flag satyagraha of Nagpur and Jabalpur went on for several months in 1923.
It was triggered by the arrest of nationalist protesters demanding the right to fly the flag. These arrests created hue and cry all over India.
Nationalist leaders such as Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Jamnalal Bajaj, Chakravarti Rajagopalachari, Dr. Rajendra Prasad and Vinoba Bhave organized the rebellion and thousands of people from different regions participated in civil disobedience.
Finally, the British negotiated a settlement with Patel and other leaders, allowing the protesters to conduct their march without hindrance and releasing all those arrested.
Hence, (d) is the correct answer.
