The correct answer is D. All of the above.
On 8th July, 1939, the leaders of Praja Mandal presented the following demands in front of Rana of Kunihar:
- Recognition of the Praja Mandal
- Release of the party workers
- Constitute a Governance Reform Committee
The Praja Mandal was a political organization that was formed in 1938 to demand responsible government in the princely states of India. The Rana of Kunihar was the ruler of the princely state of Kunihar. The Praja Mandal leaders met with the Rana to demand that he recognize the Praja Mandal, release the party workers who had been arrested, and constitute a Governance Reform Committee. The Rana refused to meet their demands, and the Praja Mandal leaders decided to launch a satyagraha (non-violent protest) against the Rana. The satyagraha lasted for several months, and it eventually led to the Rana’s acceptance of the Praja Mandal’s demands.
The Praja Mandal’s demands were important because they represented the first step towards responsible government in the princely states of India. The Praja Mandal’s success in Kunihar inspired other princely states to demand responsible government, and it eventually led to the integration of the princely states into the Indian Union.
