Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
During the Quit India Movement of August 1942, as the British administration began arresting Prajamandal members in Indore, Purushottam Vijay (Naneria) gave the call for and initiated the “Hanuman Satyagraha” in the Sarafa Bazaar. Sarafa Bazaar thus became a major centre of the August Revolution in Indore, where the satyagrahis defied the ban and the police responded with a lathi-charge and firing. The other names listed are not associated with leading this satyagraha in Indore's Sarafa Bazaar.
