During which Movement ‘Azad Dasta’ was active in Bihar?
Detailed Explanation:
Azad Dasta (Freedom Brigade) was a guerrilla unit led by Jayaprakash Narayan during the Quit India Movement (1942) in Bihar and the Nepal border region, formed to carry out underground armed resistance after mass arrests of leaders.
The Non-Cooperation Movement (1920–22), Civil Disobedience Movement (1930–34), and Champaran Satyagraha (1917) were earlier Gandhian movements focused on non-violent protest and did not involve armed guerrilla groups.
Therefore, Azad Dasta was active exclusively during the Quit India Movement, making Option 3 the correct answer.
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.
