Answer: Option D. -> C.R. Das
Answer: (d)
When Bengal was partitioned, it sparked an outburst of public anger against the British. The anger led to civil unrest and a nationalist campaign was carried out by groups of revolutionaries, led by Aurobindo Ghosh, Rasbihari Bose, and Bagha Jatin, and organized into groups like Yugantar.
The British cracked down hard on the activists and the conflict came to a head-on on April 30, 1908, when Khudiram Bose and Prafulla Chaki attempted to kill Magistrate Kingsford. Aurobindo Ghosh was also arrested on charges of planning and overseeing the attack and imprisoned in solitary confinement in Alipore Jail.
The trial continued for a year (1908–1909), and Bose was found guilty and later hanged. Aurobindo Ghosh, however, was defended by the young lawyer Chittaranjan Das, who concluded his defense.
