Consider the following events : 1. Muslim League Resolution for Pakistan 2. Gandhi-Irwin Pact 3. Dandi March 4. Second Round Table Conference Which one of the following is the correct chronological order of the given events (earliest to latest) ?
Explanation
The chronological sequence of these events is as follows: The Dandi March (Salt Satyagraha) began on March 12, 1930, and concluded on April 5, 1930, marking the start of the Civil Disobedience Movement [1]. Following this, the Gandhi-Irwin Pact was signed on March 5, 1931, which led to the suspension of the movement and the release of political prisoners [2]. This agreement paved the way for the Second Round Table Conference, held in London from September to December 1931, which Mahatma Gandhi attended as the sole representative of the Indian National Congress [2]. Finally, the Muslim League Resolution for Pakistan (also known as the Lahore Resolution) was passed much later, on March 23, 1940, demanding independent states for Muslims in the northwestern and eastern zones of India. Therefore, the correct order is 3, 2, 4, 1.
