  1. Dyarchy Correct answer.
  2. Federalism

  1. Partition the province of Bengal
  2. Detain persons without trial for a specified period Correct answer.
  3. Introduce separate electorates

  1. General Dyer Correct answer.
  2. Michael O'Dwyer
  3. Lord Chelmsford
  4. Lord Reading

Explanation

Brigadier-General Reginald Dyer ordered the firing at Jallianwala Bagh on 13 April 1919. The Hunter Committee later criticised the action, and the incident deepened nationalist resentment.

Question 15History

The Lucknow Pact of 1916 is significant in Indian political history primarily because it represented which development?

  1. The formal end of British rule in India
  2. Cooperation between the Congress and the Muslim League on constitutional demands Correct answer.
  3. The creation of a separate Muslim state
  4. The withdrawal of the Non-Cooperation Movement

Explanation

The Lucknow Pact saw the Congress and the Muslim League agree on demands such as separate electorates and a larger share of representation for Muslims in legislatures. It reflected a phase of Hindu-Muslim political cooperation during the First World War.

Question 16History

The Simon Commission, appointed in 1927 to review constitutional progress, was boycotted by Indian nationalists mainly because of which feature?

  1. It had no Indian members Correct answer.
  2. It abolished separate electorates
  3. It recommended immediate independence
  4. It proposed the partition of Punjab

The Poona Pact replaced separate electorates for the Depressed Classes with reserved seats within the general electorate, following Gandhi's fast against the Communal Award. It altered the political representation framework without ending British rule.

Question 19History

Which of the following best explains why the Quit India Movement of 1942 differed from earlier Congress movements?

  1. It was confined to Bengal and Punjab
  2. It demanded immediate British withdrawal and lacked a clear non-violent programme after leaders were arrested Correct answer.
  3. It was launched jointly with the Muslim League
  4. It sought only dominion status through constitutional negotiation

Explanation

The Quit India resolution of August 1942 demanded an immediate end to British rule, and the arrest of leaders led to spontaneous, often violent, local uprisings without central direction. Earlier movements had narrower demands and more organized leadership.

Question 20History

  1. Subhas Chandra Bose Correct answer.
  2. Bhagat Singh
  3. Rajendra Prasad

  1. Continuation of dyarchy in the provinces
  2. A union of provinces with a weak centre and grouping of provinces into sections Correct answer.
  3. A federation of princely states only
  4. Immediate partition into two independent states

Explanation

The Cabinet Mission proposed a three-tier structure: a union centre with limited powers, groups of provinces, and autonomous provinces. It rejected both continued British rule and immediate partition.

Question 22History

The Indian Councils Act of 1909, associated with Morley and Minto, is best described as introducing which change?

  1. Full responsible government in the provinces
  2. Universal adult franchise
  3. Separate electorates for Muslims in imperial and provincial councils Correct answer.
  4. Abolition of the Indian Civil Service

Explanation

The 1909 reforms enlarged legislative councils and granted separate electorates to Muslims, a step that institutionalized communal representation. They did not introduce responsible government or universal franchise.

Question 23History

Which of the following pairs correctly matches a tribal or peasant uprising with its region during British rule?

  1. Indigo revolt with Punjab
  2. Deccan riots with Assam
  3. Santhal uprising with the Rajmahal hills area Correct answer.
  4. Moplah rebellion with Bengal

Explanation

The Santhal uprising of 1855-56 took place in the Rajmahal hills region against moneylenders and zamindars. The indigo revolt occurred in Bengal, the Moplah rebellion in Malabar, and the Deccan riots in Maharashtra.

Question 24History

The Government of India Act 1935 provided for provincial autonomy. Which statement most accurately describes its effect on the Congress?

  1. The Congress contested elections in 1937 and formed ministries in several provinces Correct answer.
  2. The Congress boycotted the elections and refused all offices
  3. The Congress demanded immediate transfer of power

  1. It empowered the government to restrict newspapers printed in Indian languages Correct answer.
  2. It abolished the office of the Viceroy
  3. It granted complete freedom of the press
  4. It imposed censorship only on English-language newspapers

Explanation

The Vernacular Press Act, associated with Lord Lytton, allowed the government to demand security and censor Indian-language newspapers critical of the administration. English newspapers were left largely untouched, revealing the act's discriminatory design.

Question 26History

The Permanent Settlement of 1793 was introduced by Lord Cornwallis in Bengal. Under this system, who was made responsible for paying land revenue to the Company?

  1. The village headman
  2. The ryot directly
  3. The zamindar Correct answer.
  4. The talukdar of Mysore

Explanation

The Permanent Settlement fixed the land revenue demand permanently and recognised the zamindar as the revenue-collecting landlord. The zamindar had to pay a fixed sum to the Company by a set date or lose the estate. This created a class of loyal landlords but left cultivators dependent on them.

Question 27History

Which of the following was the main objective of the Doctrine of Lapse applied by Lord Dalhousie?

  1. To replace zamindari revenue collection with direct peasant collection
  2. To convert Indian rulers to Christianity before granting them titles
  3. To encourage Indian rulers to adopt modern railways and telegraphs
  4. To extend British territory by refusing to recognise adopted heirs of dependent rulers Correct answer.

Explanation

The Doctrine of Lapse held that a princely state without a natural heir would lapse to the Company, and adopted sons were not accepted as legitimate successors. Dalhousie used it to annex states such as Satara and Jhansi. The policy caused deep resentment among ruling families and contributed to the discontent behind 1857.

Question 28History

The Revolt of 1857 began at Meerut in May 1857 before spreading to Delhi and other centres. Which immediate action by the British triggered the outbreak at Meerut?

  1. The disbanding of the Bengal Artillery regiments
  2. The annexation of Awadh by Lord Dalhousie
  3. The introduction of a new land revenue settlement
  4. The imprisonment of sepoys who refused to use the new cartridges Correct answer.

Explanation

At Meerut, sepoys who refused to bite the new cartridges, which were believed to be greased with animal fat, were court-martialled and imprisoned. Their comrades rose in revolt on 10 May 1857 and marched to Delhi. The cartridge issue was the immediate spark, though deeper grievances had built up over decades.

Question 29History

The Indian National Congress was founded in 1885. Which of the following best describes the character of the Congress in its early phase up to about 1905?

  1. A trade union federation of industrial workers
  2. A revolutionary group organising armed uprisings
  3. A mass organisation demanding complete independence
  4. A moderate body seeking constitutional reforms through petitions Correct answer.

Explanation

In its early phase the Congress was dominated by moderates who believed in constitutional agitation, petitions and reasoned argument to secure reforms within the British Empire. Leaders such as Dadabhai Naoroji and Gopal Krishna Gokhale relied on persuasion rather than mass agitation. The demand for complete independence came much later, in 1929.

Question 30History

The Champaran Satyagraha of 1917 was Gandhi's first major movement in India. Which grievance did it address?

  1. The exclusion of Indians from the higher civil services
  2. The forced cultivation of indigo by peasants under the tinkathia system Correct answer.
  3. The imposition of a tax on salt production
  4. The ban on the use of the Hindi language in schools

Explanation

In Champaran, Bihar, peasants were compelled by European planters to grow indigo on a fixed portion of their land under the tinkathia system. Gandhi investigated the conditions and used non-violent pressure to secure relief for the peasants. The movement established his method of satyagraha in Indian politics.

Question 31History

The Non-Cooperation Movement was launched in 1920 and later withdrawn. Which event led Gandhi to call off the movement in February 1922?

  1. The signing of the Gandhi-Irwin Pact
  2. The failure of the boycott of foreign cloth
  3. The arrest of Jawaharlal Nehru in Allahabad
  4. The Chauri Chaura incident in which a mob attacked a police station Correct answer.

Explanation

At Chauri Chaura in the United Provinces, a crowd set fire to a police station and killed policemen. Gandhi, committed to non-violence, withdrew the movement rather than allow it to turn violent. The decision was controversial but underlined that means and ends had to remain non-violent.

Question 32History

The Civil Disobedience Movement began with the Dandi march in 1930. Which of the following was a feature of this movement?

  1. Cooperation with the British in provincial councils
  2. Refusal to pay taxes and deliberate breach of colonial laws Correct answer.
  3. Participation limited to lawyers and urban professionals
  4. Complete reliance on petitions to the Viceroy

Explanation

The Civil Disobedience Movement involved deliberate violation of unpopular laws, including the salt law, and refusal to pay taxes in many areas. It was a mass movement that drew in peasants, women and traders. Its strategy of breaking laws openly distinguished it from earlier petition-based politics.

Question 33History

The partition of Bengal announced in 1905 was reversed in 1911. Which development accompanied the reversal in that year?

  1. The shifting of the imperial capital from Calcutta to Delhi Correct answer.
  2. The introduction of separate electorates for women
  3. The abolition of the zamindari system
  4. The granting of dominion status to India

Explanation

In 1911 the British annulled the partition of Bengal and simultaneously announced the transfer of the capital of British India from Calcutta to Delhi. The reversal was a concession to sustained Swadeshi and boycott agitation. The capital shift was announced at the same Delhi Durbar.

Question 34History

The Home Rule Movement of 1916 was led by Annie Besant and Bal Gangadhar Tilak. What did the movement demand?

  1. Self-government for India within the British Empire Correct answer.
  2. The creation of a separate Muslim state
  3. Immediate complete independence from Britain
  4. The abolition of the Indian National Congress

Explanation

The Home Rule Leagues demanded self-government for India within the Empire, modelled on the dominion status enjoyed by countries such as Canada and Australia. The movement built public pressure during the First World War. It prepared the ground for the more radical demands that followed.

Question 35History

The Morley-Minto Reforms of 1909 introduced separate electorates. What did this mean in practice?

  1. Muslims could vote only for Muslim candidates in reserved seats Correct answer.
  2. Members of the legislative councils were elected by the princes
  3. Women were given the right to vote in provincial elections
  4. All voters chose candidates from a single common list

Explanation

Separate electorates meant that Muslim voters elected Muslim representatives through constituencies reserved for them. The measure was intended to protect minority interests but in practice deepened communal divisions in politics. It was a significant step in the communalisation of Indian political representation.

Question 36History

Which of the following correctly pairs a peasant movement of the colonial period with the region in which it occurred?

  1. The Santhal uprising with Maharashtra
  2. The Deccan riots with Punjab
  3. The Moplah rebellion with the Malabar region Correct answer.
  4. Indigo cultivators' unrest in Champaran with Bengal

Explanation

The Moplah rebellion of 1921 took place among the Muslim peasantry of the Malabar region in present-day Kerala. It arose from agrarian grievances and was later linked to the Khilafat agitation. Correctly matching a movement to its region requires attention to the specific locality of each uprising.

Question 37History

The Cripps Mission of 1942 was sent to India during the Second World War. Which proposal did it put forward?

  1. Immediate transfer of power to a single Indian party
  2. Partition of India into two independent dominions before the war ended
  3. Continuation of British rule without any constitutional change
  4. Dominion status after the war with a constituent assembly to frame the constitution Correct answer.

Explanation

Sir Stafford Cripps proposed that India would receive dominion status after the war and that a constituent assembly elected by provincial legislatures would frame the constitution. The Congress and the Muslim League both rejected the proposals for different reasons. The mission's failure contributed to the launch of the Quit India Movement.

Question 38History

The Mountbatten Plan of June 1947 set the framework for the transfer of power. Which principle did it accept?

  1. Partition of India into two dominions based on the decision of provincial assemblies Correct answer.
  2. Continuation of a united India under British paramountcy
  3. Retention of princely states under direct British rule
  4. Postponement of independence until a new constitution was drafted

Explanation

The Mountbatten Plan accepted the principle of partition and provided that the Muslim-majority provinces would decide their future through their assemblies. It led to the Indian Independence Act of 1947, which created India and Pakistan as two dominions. Independence was thus accompanied by partition rather than preceded by a fresh constitution.

Question 39History

Consider the following statements about the economic critique of colonialism by Indian nationalists. Which conclusion follows most directly from Dadabhai Naoroji's drain theory?

  1. A large part of India's wealth was being transferred to Britain without adequate return Correct answer.
  2. British investment in Indian railways alone would remove poverty
  3. Free trade would automatically raise Indian living standards
  4. India's poverty was mainly caused by the climate and the habits of its people

Explanation

The drain theory argued that a substantial portion of India's national wealth was being siphoned off to Britain through home charges, pensions, interest and remittances without any productive return. Naoroji used this to explain India's deepening poverty under colonial rule. The argument linked economic exploitation directly to the political case for self-government.

Question 40History

The Government of India Act 1919 introduced dyarchy in the provinces. Which description most accurately captures how dyarchy worked?

  1. All provincial subjects were placed under elected Indian ministers
  2. Provincial subjects were divided into transferred and reserved categories Correct answer.
  3. The Governor-General alone administered both central and provincial subjects
  4. Provincial councils were abolished and replaced by nominated bodies

Explanation

Under dyarchy, provincial subjects were split into transferred subjects administered by Indian ministers responsible to the legislature and reserved subjects administered by the Governor with his executive council. The Governor retained control over finance and law and order. The arrangement gave Indians limited experience of administration but kept real power in official hands.
