    Solution

    ● Statement 1 is incorrect: The India House and the Indian Sociologist (Journal) was started by Shyamji Krishnavarma from London in 1905. He had also set up an Indian Home Rule society. The control of the Indian House was taken over in 1907 by V. D. Savarkar of Nashik as Shayamji Krishna Verma was exiled to Paris. ● Statement 2 is correct: Savarkar was transported for life in the Nasik Conspiracy case. The extradition and transportation for life of V. D. Savarkar made London unsuitable for future propaganda and hence revolutionary activities shifted to other centres abroad in Europe. ● Statement 3 is incorrect: Sohan Singh Bhakna started the Ghadr movement in 1913 from San Francisco and not from Canada. ● Statement 4 is correct: Madam Bikaji Cama was regarded as the Mother of Indian Revolution. She was a Parsi who addressed the International Socialist Congress from Stuttgart, Germany and unfurled the national flag.
