Consider the following events 1. Jallianwala Bagh Massacre 2. Second Civil Disobedience Movement 3. Congress Split at Surat 4. Boycott of Simon Commission Which one of the following is the correct chronological order of the above events?
Explanation
The chronological sequence of the events is as follows: First, the Congress Split at Surat occurred in December 1907 due to ideological differences between Moderates and Extremists regarding the Swadeshi movement [c1, c3, t6]. Second, the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre took place on April 13, 1919, in Amritsar, where British troops under General Dyer fired on a peaceful gathering [t1, t2, t3]. Third, the Boycott of Simon Commission began in 1928 following the British announcement of an all-white statutory commission in late 1927 [c5, t2, t3]. Finally, the Second Civil Disobedience Movement was launched in the early 1930s (1930–1934), following the Dandi March and the 1929 Lahore Session's call for Purna Swaraj [t2, t3, t4]. Therefore, the correct order is 3 (1907), 1 (1919), 4 (1928), and 2 (1930), which corresponds to option 1.
