The correct answer is Option 2- 1925 The Kakori Conspiracy case was a train robbery that took place on August 9, 1925, at Kakori, a village near Lucknow, in the United Provinces of British India. The robbery was carried out by members of the Hindustan Republican Association (HRA), a revolutionary organization that was fighting for India's independence. The HRA members robbed the train in order to raise funds for their revolutionary activities. They also wanted to send a message to the British that they were not afraid to challenge their authority. The British government responded to the robbery by launching a massive crackdown on the HRA. Many members of the HRA were arrested and tried for conspiracy. Four of the accused, including Ram Prasad Bismil and Ashfaqullah Khan, were sentenced to death and executed in December 1927. The Kakori Conspiracy case was a major event in the Indian independence movement. It inspired many other revolutionaries to take up arms against the British. The case also helped to raise awareness of the Indian independence struggle among the international community. |
