With reference to the book "Desher Katha" written by Sakharam Ganesh Deuskar during the freedom struggle, consider the following statements : 1. It warned against the Colonial State's hypnotic conquest of the mind. 2. It inspired the performance of swadeshi street plays and folk songs. 3. The use of 'desh' by Deuskar was in the specific context of the region of Bengal. Which of the statements given above are correct ?

Statements 1 and 2 are correct because *Desher Katha* (1904) warned against the psychological and economic "hypnotic" grip of British rule and served as a vital source for Swadeshi street plays and folk songs. Statement 3 is incorrect because, although Deuskar was based in Bengal, he used 'desh' to refer to the entire Indian nation, reflecting a pan-Indian nationalist perspective rather than a regional one. This question tests the core concept of the role of nationalist literature and its impact on public consciousness during the Swadeshi movement.
