C. Rash Behari Bose and Sachin Sanyal
D. Bhagat Singh and Sukhdev Thapar

💡 Solution & Explanation

The Anushilan Samiti was established in Calcutta during 1902 as a pioneering secret revolutionary association aimed at ending British colonial rule through revolutionary action, with Pramathanath Mitra and Satish Chandra Basu playing instrumental foundational roles. The organization operated through various akharas that imparted physical training, sword-fighting, and nationalist indoctrination to young recruits. Prominent freedom fighters like Aurobindo Ghosh and Barindra Kumar Ghosh later became associated with its activities and publications like Yugantar. Such groups marked the rise of revolutionary nationalism in early twentieth-century Bengal.
