Arrange the following incidents in chronological order they occurred.

(A) Jallianwala Bagh massacre

(B) Gandhi-Irwin Pact

(C) 'Purna Swaraj' accepted as Congress resolution at Lahore

(D) Peasants movements in Kheda (Gujarat) and workers' movements in Ahmedabad

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Option 1 → Places Jallianwala Bagh (1919) before Kheda-Ahmedabad movements (1918), which is chronologically incorrect.

Option 2 → Completely disrupts the chronological sequence, placing 1918 events after 1919 and 1931 events.

Option 3 → Correctly sequences: Kheda-Ahmedabad (1918) → Jallianwala Bagh (1919) → Purna Swaraj resolution (1929) → Gandhi-Irwin Pact (1931).

Option 4 → Reverses the timeline, starting with 1929 and ending with 1919 events.


Hence, Option 3: (D), (A), (C), (B) → The peasants and workers' movements in Kheda and Ahmedabad (1918) marked Gandhi's early experiments with Satyagraha in India, followed by the tragic Jallianwala Bagh massacre (April 1919), then the historic Purna Swaraj declaration at Lahore Congress (December 1929), and finally the Gandhi-Irwin Pact (March 1931) that temporarily suspended the Civil Disobedience Movement → correct
