Ans (c) Lala Lajpat Rai
Lala Lajpat Rai was a prolific writer and a nationalist leader of India. He was famously called the “Lion of Punjab”.
His biographies of Mazzini, Garibaldi, and Shivaji were published in 1896, and those of Dayanand and Shri Krishna in 1898. His purpose in selecting Mazzini and Garibaldi was to infuse patriotic sentiment in the youth of Punjab, who had no access to books in English.
He travelled to the US in 1907 and noted sociological similarities between the notion of ‘colour-caste’ there and within castes in India. He joined the Swaraj Party in 1926 and was elected as its Deputy Leader in the Central Legislative Assembly.
