The 'Great Calcutta Killings' took place in which year?

1946

The correct answer is Option (1) → 1946

The 'Great Calcutta Killings' were a series of communal riots and violent clashes that occurred in Calcutta (now Kolkata), India, in August 1946. These riots were triggered by communal tensions between Hindus and Muslims and were part of the larger context of communal violence and political instability that marked the pre-independence period in India. The year 1946 was a crucial time in the lead-up to India's independence and the partition into India and Pakistan, and these tensions led to significant violence in various parts of the country, including Calcutta. The riots resulted in a large number of casualties and significant destruction, making it one of the tragic episodes in the history of the Indian subcontinent as it moved toward independence and the partition in 1947.

So, the correct option is [1].
