Solution

The correct option is C V. D. Savarkar

In India, the term First War of Independence was first popularized by Vinayak Damodar Savarkar in his 1909 book "The History of the War of Indian Independence", which was originally written in Marathi. Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, insisted on using the term First War of Independence to refer to the event, and the terminology was adopted by the Government of India.
