Question
Q47. In the context of Colonial India, Shah Nawaz Khan, Prem Kumar Sehgal and Gurbaksh Singh Dhillon are remembered as
A. Leaders of Swadeshi and Boycott Movement
B. Members of the Interim Government in 1946
C. Members of the Drafting committee in the Constituent Assembly
D. Officers of the Indian National Army.
Answer: D
Detailed Explanation
The British had initially decided to hold public trials of several hundreds of INA prisoners besides dismissing them from service and detaining without trial around 7,000 of them. They compounded the folly by holding the first trial at the Red Fort in Delhi in November 1945 and putting on dock together three INA members – a Hindu, Prem Kumar Sehgal, a Muslim, Shah Nawaz Khan, and a Sikh, Gurbaksh Singh Dhillon.
Hence option (d) is the correct answer.
