The Hindustan Republican Association (HRA), founded in 1924, was a revolutionary organization whose primary objective was to overthrow British rule in India through organized armed rebellion and establish a Federal Republic of the United States of India. While establishing a republic was the ultimate goal, the association was founded specifically to *organize* the means to achieve this, which was armed revolution or rebellion. Therefore, organizing armed rebellion in India (Option B) is the most accurate description of what the association was founded to *do*.

– HRA was a revolutionary nationalist organization founded in 1924 by figures like Ram Prasad Bismil, Sachindra Nath Sanyal, and Jogesh Chandra Chatterjee.
– Their stated aim was to achieve independence through revolution.
– They carried out actions like the Kakori Conspiracy (1925) to fund their revolutionary activities.

The HRA was later reorganized as the Hindustan Socialist Republican Association (HSRA) in 1928, with the inclusion of Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev, and Rajguru, adding a socialist objective to their goal of a republic via armed struggle.
