Appeared in: RML MAINS 2025
Explanation
- The slogan 'Swaraj is my birthright and I shall have it' was coined by Bal Gangadhar Tilak.
- Tilak was one of the earliest and most vocal proponents of 'Swaraj' or complete self-rule.
- This slogan became a powerful and influential call to action during the Indian independence movement, inspiring countless individuals to join the struggle against British colonial rule.
Why Other Options Were Wrong
- Option A: Mahatma Gandhi is associated with different slogans, most notably 'Do or Die'.
- Option C: Bhagat Singh, a revolutionary, popularized the slogan 'Inquilab Zindabad' (Long live the revolution).
- Option D: Subhas Chandra Bose is famous for the slogans 'Give me blood, and I shall give you freedom' and 'Jai Hind'.

Clinical Relevance
- Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain Prominent Leaders and Slogans of the Indian Independence Movement as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
- General knowledge, including national history, is a component of many nursing entrance examinations in India.
- Understanding the key figures and events of the Indian independence movement provides context to the nation's history and values, which is part of a well-rounded education for healthcare professionals.
- What if the question asked about the slogan 'Jai Hind'? The correct answer would be Subhas Chandra Bose, who popularized it as a formal greeting for his Indian National Army.
How to Approach the Question
- First, read the question and identify the specific slogan: 'Swaraj is my birthright and I shall have it'.

- Try to recall the famous slogans associated with each leader.
- Match the given slogan to the correct leader, Bal Gangadhar Tilak.
