(b) Jallianwala Bagh Tragedy
(c) Chauri Chaura Incident
(d) Partition of Bengal
Ans: (b) Jallianwala Bagh Tragedy
Explanation: The year 1919 is associated with (b) Jallianwala Bagh Tragedy.
The Jallianwala Bagh massacre, one of the darkest episodes in the history of the Indian independence movement, occurred on April 13, 1919, in Amritsar, Punjab, during the British colonial rule in India. British troops, under the command of Brigadier General Reginald Dyer, opened fire on a large gathering of unarmed Indians who were peacefully protesting the repressive Rowlatt Act.
The Jallianwala Bagh tragedy resulted in the death and injury of hundreds of Indians, sparking outrage and widespread condemnation both in India and abroad. It had a profound impact on the Indian independence movement and further fueled the demand for self-rule and independence from British colonial rule.
Therefore, option (b) Jallianwala Bagh Tragedy is the correct association with the year 1919.
