Correct Answer: Bengal


Solution : The correct answer is Bengal.

The Anushilan Samiti, translating to "Practice Association" in Bengali, was established as a fitness club in the early 20th century. However, it functioned as an underground society for anti-British revolutionaries. Emerging in 1902 from local youth groups and gymnasiums in Bengal, it advocated revolutionary violence to end British rule in India. It had distinct branches in East and West Bengal: the Dhaka Anushilan Samiti and the Jugantar group centred in Calcutta.
