In 1942 AD, on the occasion of which festival Jayaprakash Narayan escaped from Hazaribagh jail?
Detailed Explanation:
Jayaprakash Narayan escaped from Hazaribagh Central Jail on Deepawali (Diwali) in November 1942 during the Quit India Movement. He exploited the festival occasion when many guards were on leave, facilitating this daring escape that made him a folk hero.
Arrested under the Defence of India Rules for underground activities, JP planned the escape with fellow prisoners. The Deepawali festival provided the perfect opportunity due to reduced security, and he subsequently continued his freedom struggle activities underground.
Therefore, Deepawali is the correct festival, making Option 3 the correct answer.
