What is common among Madam Bhikaji Cama, M. Barkatulla, V.V.S. Iyer and M.N. Roy ?

Result
Your answer:  ·  Correct: C
Explanation

All four individuals—Madam Bhikaji Cama, M. Barkatullah, V.V.S. Iyer and M.N. Roy—are recorded as prominent Indian revolutionaries who operated from abroad during the freedom struggle. Contemporary histories place Bhikaji Cama and other exiled activists in European centres (Paris, Geneva) and note Ghadr and related activity among expatriate Indians including Barkatullah [1]. Revolutionary missions from Europe to regions such as Baghdad, Persia, Turkey and Kabul (involving leaders like Barkatullah) further illustrate organized overseas revolutionary work [2]. Modern exam compilations and summaries explicitly list these four names together as “prominent revolutionaries outside India” during the freedom movement, confirming this commonality.
