Lal-Bal-Pal refers to which trio of leaders?

Explanation

Lal-Bal-Pal is the shorthand for three nationalist leaders: Lala Lajpat Rai from Punjab, Bal Gangadhar Tilak from Maharashtra and Bipin Chandra Pal from Bengal. They were the three prominent leaders of the Extremist faction, and these three names together form the complete trio. The Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, Ministry of Culture, Government of India page places such freedom-movement material within the Freedom Struggle theme, which revisits milestones and movements in the historical journey to 15 August 1947. The nickname connects both the initials and the political current: Lal for Lajpat Rai, Bal for Tilak and Pal for Bipin Chandra Pal.

Why the other options are wrong

• (A) Badruddin Tyabji and Pherozeshah Mehta were Moderates and therefore do not complete the Extremist trio with Lala Lajpat Rai.
• (C) B.R. Ambedkar was a social reformer and constitution-maker, not part of Lal-Bal-Pal with Lala Lajpat Rai and Bipin Chandra Pal.
• (D) Lala Hardayal and Pattabhi Sitaramayya were not members of Lal-Bal-Pal; Lala Lajpat Rai and Bipin Chandra Pal are required along with Bal Gangadhar Tilak.

Concept

The Extremist phase of the Indian National Movement links leaders with political groupings. RAS modern Indian history often uses compact leader-trio identifiers to test this association.
