The revolutionary Bagha Jatin (Jatindranath Mukherjee) was known for his valiant fight and for inspiring revolutionaries in which Indian state?
Bengal
Jatindranath Mukherjee (1879-1915), popularly called "Bagha Jatin" after he reportedly killed a tiger (bagh) with a dagger, was a leading figure of the armed revolutionary movement in Bengal.
He was a key organiser of the Jugantar party, the militant wing of Bengal's revolutionaries, and masterminded the German-Indian (Indo-German) conspiracy during the First World War to import arms and trigger an uprising against British rule.
He died in the Battle of Balasore (in Odisha) in 1915, but his base of activity, his organisation and the revolutionaries he inspired were all rooted in Bengal.
Hence, the answer is Bengal.
Punjab was the centre of the Ghadar movement, Uttar Pradesh is associated with the Kakori conspiracy of the HRA, and Bihar's revolutionary activity is not linked to Bagha Jatin — so these states do not fit.
