The book The Indian Struggle was written by
- A.Subhas Chandra Bose
- B.Jawaharlal Nehru
- C.V. D. Savarkar
- D.M. N. Roy
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is A, Subhas Chandra Bose. The Indian Struggle is his own narrative and analysis of the Indian national movement, written during his years in Europe, and it reflects the impatience with gradual methods that later separated him from the Congress leadership.
Option B, Jawaharlal Nehru, wrote The Discovery of India and Glimpses of World History, both of which are broader works of history. Option C, V. D. Savarkar, wrote The Indian War of Independence 1857, in which he described the revolt of 1857 as a planned national war rather than a mutiny, and Hindutva. Option D, M. N. Roy, wrote India in Transition and founded the Communist Party of India abroad. Note how similar the titles of options A and C sound; the word struggle belongs to Bose and the words war of independence to Savarkar.
