The correct answer is: B. Sheikh Abdullah.
Sheikh Abdullah was the first Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir. He was a Kashmiri politician who led the state’s struggle for independence from India. He was also the founder of the National Conference party.
Sheikh Abdullah was born in 1905 in Srinagar, Kashmir. He was educated at the Aligarh Muslim University and the University of Cambridge. After returning to Kashmir, he joined the All-India Muslim League. However, he soon became disillusioned with the League’s policies and left it to form the National Conference in 1939.
The National Conference was a secular party that advocated for the independence of Jammu and Kashmir. Sheikh Abdullah led the party in a series of protests and demonstrations against the Dogra Maharaja Hari Singh. In 1947, after the partition of India, Sheikh Abdullah signed an Instrument of Accession with India. However, he soon regretted this decision and began to demand independence for Jammu and Kashmir.
In 1953, Sheikh Abdullah was arrested by the Indian government and imprisoned for 11 years. He was released in 1964 and allowed to form a government in Jammu and Kashmir. However, he was again arrested in 1975 and placed under house arrest for the next 11 years.
Sheikh Abdullah died in 1982. He is considered to be one of the most important figures in the history of Jammu and Kashmir.
