- a.Rabindranath Tagore
- b.Sarojini Naidu
- c.Jawaharlal Nehru
- d.Mirabehn
Answer: (B) Sarojini Naidu
Sarojini Naidu described Gandhi and Viceroy Lord Irwin as 'the Two Mahatmas' during the talks that produced the Gandhi-Irwin (Delhi) Pact of 5 March 1931, a comment on the deeply religious, conscience-driven character of both men. Under the Pact the Congress suspended Civil Disobedience and agreed to attend the Second Round Table Conference, while the Government released non-violent political prisoners and allowed salt-making for personal use in coastal villages. Naidu, the 'Nightingale of India', was the first Indian woman President of the Congress (Kanpur, 1925). Among the other options, Nehru was unhappy with the Pact, Mirabehn (Madeleine Slade) was Gandhi's English disciple, and Tagore is credited with popularising the title 'Mahatma' for Gandhi.
