The correct answer is: B. Mahatma Gandhi.
Mahatma Gandhi was a prominent Indian lawyer, anti-colonial nationalist, and civil rights activist who employed nonviolent civil disobedience to lead the successful campaign for India’s independence from British rule, and in turn inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. The honorific title Mahatmaâmeaning “high-souled”âwas bestowed on him first in 1914 in South Africa, and became widely used in India in the 1920s.
Gandhi’s philosophy of nonviolence, termed satyagraha (truth force), was employed in the Indian independence movement against British rule, and in other liberation struggles. He is internationally honored for his philosophy of nonviolence and his leadership of the Indian independence movement. The United Nations General Assembly has proclaimed 2 October as the International Day of Nonviolence in his honor.
In his book Hind Swaraj, Gandhi wrote: “Our leaders are divided into two parties: the moderates and the extremists. These may be considered as the slow party and the impatient party. Some call the Moderates the timid party and the extremists the bold party.”
Gandhi believed that the moderates were too slow in their approach to achieving independence, while the extremists were too impatient and were willing to use violence to achieve their goals. Gandhi advocated for a middle path, which he called satyagraha, or nonviolent resistance. He believed that satyagraha was the most effective way to achieve independence, and that it would ultimately lead to a more just and peaceful society.
Gandhi’s philosophy of nonviolence has had a profound impact on the world. It has been used by activists in many different countries to fight for social justice and equality. Gandhi’s legacy continues to inspire people around the world, and his message of peace
and nonviolence is more relevant than ever.The other options are incorrect because they are not the authors of the book Hind Swaraj. A. J. Joshi was a Gujarati writer and social reformer. Barendra Ghosh was an Indian politician and freedom fighter. Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru was the first Prime Minister of India.
