Practice Questions

Q1. The cities that were divided into communal zones during the partition of India were:

A Lahore, Amritsar and Hyderabad
B Lahore, Amritsar and Calcutta Correct
C Amritsar, Calcutta and Jammu & Kashmir
D Lahore, Bihar and Calcutta

Explanation

During Partition, communal tension and population movement deeply affected Lahore, Amritsar and Calcutta, and these cities were described in terms of communal zones. Hyderabad was a princely-state question and is not part of this set. Jammu and Kashmir was a region and princely state, not a city listed with Amritsar and Calcutta in this context. Bihar was a province, not a city. The printed key therefore fits Lahore, Amritsar and Calcutta as the relevant group.
