The correct sequence of the given events is (ii) - (iv) - (iii) - (i). Let's discuss each event in detail to understand the chronological order:
(i) The Partition of Bengal officially came into existence: This event occurred in 1905 when Lord Curzon, the then Viceroy of India, divided the Bengal province into two parts - East Bengal and West Bengal. The partition was done on religious lines, with the intention of weakening the growing nationalistic movement in Bengal. This decision was met with widespread protests and boycotts.
(ii) Satyagraha Movement in Kheda District (Gujarat): This event took place in 1918 in the Kheda district of Gujarat. The district was hit by a severe crop failure, and the British administration demanded full payment of taxes from the farmers. Led by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the farmers organized a satyagraha, a nonviolent resistance movement, against this unjust demand. The movement gained widespread support from the local community and successfully forced the British authorities to suspend the collection of taxes.
(iii) Satyagraha Movement in Ahmedabad: This event occurred in 1917 in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi, textile mill workers went on strike to demand better working conditions, higher wages, and the recognition of their trade union. The movement adopted the principles of satyagraha and nonviolence. The strike lasted for several months and eventually led to the signing of the Ahmedabad Mill Strike Settlement.
(iv) Rowlatt Act passed: This event took place in 1919 when the Rowlatt Act was passed by the British government in India. The act granted the colonial authorities the power to arrest and detain individuals without trial and curtailed civil liberties. The act was met with widespread protests and opposition from Indian nationalists. The Rowlatt Act played a significant role in fueling the national movement against British rule.
Based on the provided options, the correct sequence is (ii) - (iv) - (iii) - (i). The Partition of Bengal officially came into existence before the Satyagraha Movement in Kheda District. The Satyagraha Movement in Ahmedabad occurred before the passing of the Rowlatt Act. Therefore, option 'C' is the correct answer.
