(a) He was the happiest man
(b) He was a very disillusioned man
(c) He had full satisfaction about his achievements
(d) He was happy with the formation of Pakistan
Ans: (b) He was a very disillusioned man
Explanation: The correct statement in connection with India’s independence regarding Mahatma Gandhi is option (b) He was a very disillusioned man. While Mahatma Gandhi played a significant role in India’s independence movement and was an iconic figure in the struggle against British colonial rule, he became increasingly disillusioned and saddened by certain aspects surrounding India’s independence. One such aspect was the communal violence and partition that occurred during the process of independence, resulting in the formation of India and Pakistan as separate nations. Gandhi had advocated for Hindu-Muslim unity and was deeply pained by the communal tensions and violence that accompanied the partition. Therefore, it is accurate to say that he was a very disillusioned man during this time.
