UPPCS Modern History Gap Sheet: Revolutionaries and Conspiracy Cases.
UPPCS has asked 32 of these. 3 have not been asked yet. Lock the first list, then read the second: it holds what UPPCS has not used yet.
First, the concept
Two waves. The first (1897–1918) grew from Maharashtra and Bengal secret societies and spread abroad (India House, Ghadar). The second (1924–1934) was organised and socialist: HRA, then HSRA, Chittagong.
The British named each trial after a place: Alipore, Nasik, Delhi, Lahore, Kakori, Meerut. Match the case with its accused.

⚠️ Kakori (1925) was the HRA; the Assembly bomb (1929) was the HSRA. Khudiram Bose's target at Muzaffarpur was Kingsford, but the bomb killed two English women. Madan Lal Dhingra shot Curzon Wyllie; Udham Singh shot O'Dwyer, not General Dyer.
