This question was previously asked in
UPSC CAPF 2026 General Ability and Intelligence Question Paper (19-Jul-2026)
The correct answer is

Partition of Bengal

The four events need to be placed on the timeline of the national movement.

The Partition of Bengal by Lord Curzon was announced and implemented in 1905, splitting the province along communal lines and triggering the Swadeshi movement.

The Champaran Satyagraha, Gandhi's first mass movement in India over indigo cultivation, took place in 1917.

The Chauri Chaura incident, in which a mob set fire to a police station, occurred in February 1922 and led to the withdrawal of the Non-Cooperation Movement.

The Dandi March, Gandhi's salt satyagraha, was carried out in 1930 at the start of the Civil Disobedience Movement.

Arranging these by date gives 1905, 1917, 1922, 1930. Hence, the earliest event is the Partition of Bengal.
