UPTET 2026 Paper 2 Social Studies Question Paper (3-Jul-2026) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is
Swami Vivekananda
Swami Vivekananda, the renowned spiritual leader and reformer, popularised the message "Arise, awake and stop not till the goal is reached," drawing on a verse from the Katha Upanishad.
This call inspired generations of Indians towards self-confidence, spiritual awakening, and national regeneration during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Mahatma Gandhi, Aurobindo Ghosh, and Rabindranath Tagore were all prominent figures of the national movement, but this particular exhortation is specifically and famously attributed to Swami Vivekananda.
Therefore, the correct answer is Swami Vivekananda.
