C. 12 August 1912
D. 02 july 1911

Answer 1

Hint:
 Vanchinath Iyer (1886 - 17 June 1911), popularly known as Vanchinathan or Vanchi, was an Indian revolutionary. He is best remembered for killing Thirunelveli's tax collector Robert Ash. It was the biggest strategy in indian history.

Complete answer:
Vanchinathan was born in 1886 in Sengottai to Raghupati Iyer and Rukmani Ammal. His real name was Shankaran. He did his schooling in Sengottai. He married Ponnamal and engaged in a lucrative government job.
On 17 June 1911, Vanchi, who was just 25 years old, killed Tirunelveli District Collector Robert Ash, also known as Collector Dorai. He shot Ash at point-blank range when Ash's train stopped at Maniyachi station via Madras. After this he committed suicide. The railway station has since been renamed as Wanchi Maniyachi.
The contents of the letter that Wanchi Iyer wrote indicated suicide, suggesting that the murder was religious and that there was great apprehension over Ash's activities against social evils. The time of the assassination indicated a protest against the imminent coronation. Many organizations in Tamil Nadu allege that Vanchi Iyer was racist and killed Asha because she was interfering in Brahmanism.
In recent years, the perception of Dalits (traditionally marginalized groups in India) has been positive and is considered a hero. Ash took action to ensure that all people could bathe in the Courtallam waterfall, which was until then exclusively reserved for bathing idols of high-caste Indians and deities. This action has opened waterfalls for Dalit people. In recent years, Dalit organizations have paid tribute to Asha by laying a wreath at her memorial on her birthday and at her tomb, which is located in the English Church, opposite St. John's College in Palamkottai.

Hence, the correct answer is option B.

Note:
For the first time in the history of independent India, a Dalit group paid floral tributes to Asha. The justified members of Atiq Thamizhar Kachi said, "Since this great Britain was against untouchability and recognized Dalits as human beings when the caste-ridden society took all sorts of measures to persecute them, we would give them vase Wreaths for.
