Answer 1

Explanation:

1) The revolutionary activities of HSRA were:

• Conducting robberies and raids in an attempt to raise funds to acquire arms and ammunition.
• Kakori Conspiracy was a train robbery.
• The killing of John Saunders to exact revenge.
• Central Assembly Bombing Case.

2) Revolutionary nationalism emerged as a potent political force in Bengal in the wake of the Swadeshi Movement in the first decade of the 20th century and thereafter it worked alongside mainstream nationalism that was represented by the Congress party, sometimes in cooperation, at other times along parallel tracks.

3) Main feature of Lahore Session of Congress in 1929.

• In Dec. 1929, under the presidency of Jawaharlal Nehru, the Lahore Congress formalised the demand of 'Purna Swaraj' or complete independence.

• It was declared that 26th Jan. 1930 would be celebrated as the independence day when people were to take a pledge to struggle for independence.

• but the celebration attracted very little attention. So Mahatma Gandhi had to find a way to relate this abstract idea of freedom to more concrete issues of everyday life.
