Q1With reference to the late revolutionary phase in Bengal, consider the following statements: 1. The Chittagong Armoury Raid took place on 18 April 1930 under Surya Sen. 2. Pritilata Waddedar led the attack on the Pahartali European Club in 1932. 3. Bina Das attempted to shoot Bengal Governor Stanley Jackson at the Calcutta University convocation in 1932. Which of the statements given above are correct? Select the correct answer using the code given below.
All three statements are correct. Surya Sen led the Chittagong raid in 1930; Pritilata Waddedar led the Pahartali attack in 1932; and Bina Das made her attempt at the Calcutta University convocation in the same year. Together they show both the Chittagong focus and the visibility of women in the late Bengal phase.
Q2Arrange the following events in chronological order, from the earliest to the latest: A. Formation of Abhinav Bharat B. Assassination of Rand and Ayerst by the Chapekar brothers C. Assassination of Curzon Wyllie by Madan Lal Dhingra D. Founding of India House in London Select the correct answer using the code given below.
The Chapekar action occurred in 1897, Abhinav Bharat was formed in 1904, India House was founded in 1905, and Madan Lal Dhingra assassinated Curzon Wyllie in 1909. Hence the order in option C is correct.
Q3Match List I with List II and select the correct answer using the code given below. List I (Organisation or centre) A. Dhaka Anushilan Samiti B. India House C. Ghadar movement D. Naujawan Bharat Sabha List II (Associated person) 1. Lala Har Dayal 2. Pulin Behari Das 3. Bhagat Singh 4. Shyamji Krishna Varma
Dhaka Anushilan Samiti is linked with Pulin Behari Das; India House with Shyamji Krishna Varma; the Ghadar movement with Lala Har Dayal; and Naujawan Bharat Sabha with Bhagat Singh. Thus the complete match is given in option D.
Q4With reference to the operating methods of revolutionary organisations, consider the following statements: 1. Oath-bound circles and compartmentalised knowledge were used to limit exposure after arrests. 2. The Kakori train action of 1925 aimed to seize government money rather than private property. 3. Secrecy enabled these organisations to establish broad and durable mass contact. Which of the statements given above are correct? Select the correct answer using the code given below.
Statements 1 and 2 are correct. Compartmentalised, oath-bound cells reduced exposure, and Kakori targeted government treasury money. Statement 3 reverses a central limitation: secrecy protected cells but restricted mass contact and organisational scale.
Q5Regarding overseas revolutionary networks, consider the following statements: 1. India House was founded in London in 1905 under the patronage of Shyamji Krishna Varma. 2. The Ghadar movement developed especially among Indian migrants in North America. 3. The Komagata Maru episode was identical with the Ghadar movement. Which of the statements given above are correct? Select the correct answer using the code given below.
Statements 1 and 2 are correct. India House was a London-based student-intellectual centre, while Ghadar grew among expatriate Indians, especially in North America. The 1914 Komagata Maru episode intensified the same diasporic grievance environment but was not identical with Ghadar; hence Statement 3 is incorrect.
