Answer 1

Hint:The person founded the youth association of Desa Bandhu and died because of the injuries sustained after a police lathi charge.

Complete answer:
India has witnessed a large number of revolutionaries. After the British were increasing the brutality and severeness of their laws against Indians, many great revolutionaries took the matter into their own hands and started protests, agitations and non cooperation movements.Tamil Nadu was at the centre of all the following protests as the Madras Presidency rule was exploiting the people and attacking their personal liberty such as language, attire etc. We shall now see the options:-

Tirupur Kumaran- Kumaran was a revolutionary from Tamil Nadu who since his young age was drawn into politics. He founded the Desabandhu association . He was martyred on 12 January, 1932 because of the injuries sustained from a police assault after he was protesting.Hence, this is the correct option.
Vanchinathan- Vanchinathan was also a young revolutionary from Tamilnadu who joined the struggle against the British in a young age. He is best known for his murder of Robert Ashe, the tax collector of his area. Thus this is not the correct option.
Subarmaniya Siva- Siva was a great Indian writer ,fighter and a famous Tamil movement activist who used journalism as his weapon against the British. He supported the 'Pure Tamil' movement.Therefore this is not the correct option.
Chidambaram Pillai- Known as the "Tamil Helmsman" , Pillai was a leader of Indian National Congress and the spokesperson from his presidency in Madras.Hence this is an incorrect option.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A) Tirupur Kumaran.

Note:Tamil Nadu has a rich cultural and history of influential personalities who have changed the world. From poets to revolutionaries, all have played an important role in emancipating the common population from the shackles of social problems as well as foreign rule.
