The correct chronological sequence is: Partition of Bengal (1905) → Lucknow Pact (1916) → Rowlatt Act (1919) → Introduction of Dyarchy (Government of India Act, 1919). The Partition of Bengal occurred in the early 20th century and shaped communal politics leading up to later developments [4]. The Lucknow Pact, a joint Congress–Muslim League agreement, was concluded in 1916 [1]. The Rowlatt Acts and the Rowlatt Satyagraha took place in 1919, representing repressive wartime measures [2]. Later in 1919 the Montagu–Chelmsford/Government of India Act introduced dyarchy in the provinces, implementing the dual or “transferred/reserved” subjects arrangement [1]. Hence the sequence is IV, I, III, II.
