Q1. With reference to the Indian freedom struggle, which one of the following is the correct chronological order of the given events?
Explanation
The correct sequence is Partition of Bengal in 1905, the Surat Split of the Congress in 1907, and the Lucknow Pact in 1916. Bengal's partition came first under Lord Curzon and energised the Swadeshi movement. The Congress split at Surat followed two years later because of differences between moderates and extremists. The Lucknow Pact came much later, when the Congress and the Muslim League reached an agreement. Any order placing the Lucknow Pact before the Surat Split or the Partition of Bengal reverses the historical timeline.
