The Kakori Train Robbery occurred on which date?

• A. 14 August 1942
• B. 9 January 1925
• C. 26 January 1930
• D. 10 May 1919

Answer: (B)

Understanding when major acts of resistance occurred helps place them in the timeline of the freedom movement. The Kakori Train Robbery took place on 9 August 1925 at Kakori near Lucknow, carried out by members of the Hindustan Republican Association to loot a government train and fund revolutionary activities. This date is the established one because the incident is tied to the Kakori conspiracy case and the subsequent trials; the other dates correspond to different events in the era, such as Quit India in 1942 or the push for Purna Swaraj in 1930, so they do not denote the Kakori incident.
