The correct answer is: a) Simon Commission.
Tiruppur Kumaran was a young freedom fighter who was killed during a protest against the Simon Commission. The Simon Commission was a British commission that was sent to India in 1928 to investigate the possibility of granting India self-government. The commission was boycotted by Indian nationalists, who saw it as a ploy to maintain British rule. Kumaran was one of the many protesters who were killed in the protests against the Simon Commission.
The other options are incorrect because:
- b) Salt Tax: The Salt March was a major protest against the salt tax, which was a major source of revenue for the British government. However, Kumaran was not killed during the Salt March.
- c) Repressive colonial laws: There were many repressive colonial laws in India, such as the Rowlatt Act and the Indian Penal Code. However, Kumaran was not killed during a protest against any of these laws.
- d) Jalianwala Bagh Massacre: The Jalianwala Bagh Massacre was a massacre of unarmed Indian civilians by British troops. However, Kumaran was not killed during the Jalianwala Bagh Massacre.
