UPSC CSE Prelims 2000

Correct Option :

1) I-A, II-C, III-D, IV-B

The correct matching is as follows:

• Chittagong Armoury Raid (I) is associated with Kalpana Dutt (A). Kalpana Dutt was a prominent revolutionary who participated in the 1930 Chittagong Armoury Raid alongside Surya Sen.
• Abhinav Bharat (II) is associated with Vinayak Damodar Savarkar (C). V.D. Savarkar founded the Abhinav Bharat Society, a secret revolutionary society, in 1904.
• Anushilan Samiti (III) is associated with Aurobindo Ghosh (D). Aurobindo Ghosh was a key figure and ideologue associated with the Anushilan Samiti, particularly its Calcutta branch, which was a prominent revolutionary organization in Bengal.
• Kuka Movement (IV) is associated with Guru Ram Singh (B). Guru Ram Singh was the founder and leader of the Kuka Movement, a socio-religious reform movement that also had political undertones against British rule in Punjab.

Incorrect Options:

Options 2, 3, and 4 are incorrect because they misalign the historical figures with their respective movements or organizations. For instance, option 2 incorrectly links Anushilan Samiti with Guru Ram Singh and Kuka Movement with Aurobindo Ghosh. Option 3 incorrectly links Chittagong Armoury Raid with V.D. Savarkar and Abhinav Bharat with Kalpana Dutt. Option 4 similarly presents incorrect associations, such as Chittagong Armoury Raid with V.D. Savarkar and Abhinav Bharat with Kalpana Dutt, and Kuka Movement with Aurobindo Ghosh. The correct pairings, as detailed above, establish the accurate historical connections between the movements/organizations and their key figures.
