Q. Who amongst the following was involved in the Alipore Bomb case?
(a) S. N. Bannerjee
(b) Bipin Chandra Pal
(c) Jatin Das
(d) Aurobindo Ghosh
Ans: (d) Aurobindo Ghosh
Explanation: The correct answer is (d) Aurobindo Ghosh.
Aurobindo Ghosh, also known as Sri Aurobindo, was one of the key figures involved in the Alipore Bomb case. The Alipore Bomb case was a significant event in the Indian freedom struggle that took place in 1908 in Alipore, Kolkata (then Calcutta), during British colonial rule.
Aurobindo Ghosh, along with other revolutionary nationalists, was accused of being involved in a conspiracy to carry out bomb attacks against British officials. The main target of the planned attacks was Magistrate Kingsford, who was known for passing harsh judgments against Indian nationalists. However, the bombs mistakenly killed two British women instead of Kingsford.
Aurobindo Ghosh was charged with various offenses, including conspiracy and sedition, and was arrested in connection with the Alipore Bomb case. He was imprisoned and faced trial, but ultimately he was acquitted due to lack of evidence. After his release, Aurobindo Ghosh played a significant role in India’s freedom movement through his writings and philosophical teachings.
