(B) Hind Swaraj - (i) Mahatma Gandhi
(C) Chauri Chaura - (iv) Gorakhpur
(D) Jallianwala Baggh Massacre - (ii) Amritsar
Explanation:
(A) The peasant's Satyagraha was for forgiving tax for one year due to a plague attack and crop failure.
(B) In his book Hind Swaraj, Gandhiji stated that British rule in India was set-up only because Indians had cooperated with the British and if we refused to cooperate, British rule would collapse within an year. This was the basis for the non-cooperation movement.
(C) This was the place where the non-cooperation movement, due to spreading violence, was called off.
(D) After the establishment of the martial law due to the opposition of the Rowlatt Act by the Indians, on the day of Baisakhi, many villagers who were unaware of the martial law gathered to celebrate and attend the annual fair had arrived at the Jallianwala Bagh. Some people had also come to oppose the Rowlatt Act. It was on this day that General Dyer entered the Bagh with his troops, blocked the only entrance and opened fire on the gathering, killing hundreds of people.
