Question

Dr Ram Manohar Lohia was involved in disrupted transport and communication as well as the government machinery.
A) True
B) False

Answer 1

Hint: As part of the 'Underground Movement,' demonstrators disrupted transportation and communication, as well as government machinery, by causing railway lines to break down, telephone lines to be disconnected, bridges to be blown up, and so on. The movement's influence was felt all over India.

Complete answer:
The public campaign took a new turn at the end of 1942. The movement's leadership was entrusted to a group of young socialist activists. Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia, Jayprakash Narayan, Chhotubhai Puranik, and others. By causing the breakdown of railway roads, cutting off telephone lines, blowing up bridges, among other means, the protester disrupted transportation and communication as well as government machinery.

Ram Manohar Lohia was a socialist political leader and an activist in the Indian independence movement. He worked with the Congress Radio, which transmitted secretly from various locations in Bombay until 1942, during the final years of British rule in India.

By critically analysing the Gandhian leadership of the Congress and the Communists who had flooded into the CSP, Lohia began to establish his own political viewpoint. He was convicted and sentenced to two years in prison for giving anti-war speeches in June 1940. Actually, Lohia, who had already been released by the end of 1941, became one of the leading figures in the Central Directorate, which secretly attempted to organise the Quit India rebellion, which Gandhi had ignited in August 1942. In May 1944, he was kidnapped and imprisoned in Lahore Fort, where he was tortured.

So as a conclusion we can say that Dr Ram Manohar Lohia was involved in disrupted transport and communication as well as the government machinery- this statement is true.

Thus the correct answer is option ‘A’.

Note: Lohia, along with Jayaprakash Narayan, was eventually released on April 11, 1946, as one of the last high-security inmates. It was he who came up with the concept of sapt kranti.
