Answer 1

Hint: Kunwar Pratap Singh Barhath was a Rajasthani freedom activist.He was a pivotal player in India's resistance to British rule. Thakur Kesari Singh Barahath was his father.

Complete answer:
Kunwar Pratap Singh Barhath was a Rajasthani freedom activist. He was born on May 24, 1893, to a Charan family in Udaipur, Rajasthan, India, and joined the Revolutionary Party as a follower of Ras Bihari Bose. On December 3, 1912, he took part in a revolutionary plot to assassinate Lord Hardinge, Viceroy of India.

Jorawar Singh Barhath, his uncle, was also a member of the group. He was caught in the Banaras Conspiracy Case and convicted to five years in prison in February 1916.

In Bareilly Central Jail, he was subjected to cruel torture in order to force him to reveal the names of his fellow countrymen. He flatly refused. On the 18th of May 1918, he died in prison as an unsung hero. "I can't allow thousands of mothers cry to stop my mother crying," he famously said.

Thakur Kesari Singh Barhath (November 21, 1872 – August 14, 1941) was an Indian revolutionary, independence warrior, and educationist who lived in Rajasthan. He was the patriarch of the Barhath family, which included Kunwar Pratap Singh Barhath (his son) and Zorawar Singh Barhath, all of whom were prominent in anti-British activities (his brother).

Therefore the correct option is option ‘D’.

Note: Udaipur, sometimes referred to as the "City of Lakes," is a city in Rajasthan, India. In the erstwhile Rajputana Agency, it is the mediaeval capital of the kingdom of Mewar. It was constructed in 1559 by Udai Singh II of the Sisodia Rajput dynasty, when he relocated his capital from Chittorgarh to Udaipur following the siege of Chittorgarh by Akbar.
