The famous slogan 'Swaraj is my birthright and I shall have it' was famously proclaimed by which nationalist leader during the Home Rule League movement?

💡 Solution & Explanation

Bal Gangadhar Tilak famously proclaimed the rallying cry 'Swaraj is my birthright and I shall have it' during his campaign for the Indian Home Rule League movement in 1916. Other prominent leaders like Mahatma Gandhi and Subhas Chandra Bose emerged in later phases of the national movement with different political programs and slogans. This declaration galvanized the Indian freedom struggle, providing a clear political objective of self-rule distinct from the earlier moderate demands of colonial self-government.
