Lala Lajpat Rai began his practice as a lawyer in 1886 in which town of the present Haryana?
- A.Hisar
- B.Rohtak
- C.Panipat
- D.Karnal
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is A, Hisar. Lajpat Rai started his legal practice at Hisar in 1886, took part in the municipal and Arya Samaj work of the town and in early Congress organisation there, and only later moved to Lahore, from where he became a national figure. His Hisar years are the reason Haryana papers include him among the leaders connected with the region.
Option B is wrong because Rohtak is associated with Pandit Neki Ram Sharma and with Chhotu Ram's Garhi Sampla. Option C is wrong because Panipat is remembered for its three battles rather than for his practice. Option D is wrong because Karnal has no such connection with him, and in matching questions it is the town of Hisar that must be paired with his name.
