Answer 1

Hint:
- On January 29, 1938, the Hyderabad State Congress was constituted.
- Swami Ramananda Theeratha was instrumental in the establishment and organization of HSC. As a result, Swami Ramananda Theertha is regarded as HSC's true founder.

Complete answer:
The Hyderabad State Congress was a political party in the princely state of Hyderabad that advocated for civil rights, representative democracy, and Hyderabad's unification with India. It opposed the Nizam of Hyderabad's dictatorial regime and the Razakars' violence. HSC was established in 1938.
HSC's efforts in Hyderabad State were not supported by the Indian National Congress. This is due to a variety of factors.

Hyderabad State congress called as “Join Indian Union” Day -
The Hyderabad State Congress began actively campaigning for Hyderabad to join the Union of India after independence, which the Nizam opposed. The State Congress declared August 7, 1947, to be "Join Indian Union" Day.

Protests, strikes, and flag-hoisting erupted across the state, prompting the Nizam's government to once again outlaw the Congress and make huge arrests. In response, the Razakars vowed to carry out mass programmes on Hindu citizens in Hyderabad, inciting mayhem across India.

Therefore, Option ‘C’ i.e, August 7, 1947, is the correct answer because The State Congress named August 7, 1947, to be "Join Indian Union" Day.

Note:
- The Join India Movement was led by Swami Ramananda Tirtha. Hyderabad State Congress was the catalyst for the revolution.
- Venkatesh Bhagvanrao Khedgikar was Swami Ramanand Tirtha's original name. After accomplishing the sanyas, he was awarded the name "Swami Ramanand Tirtha."
