BJai Jawan Jai Kisan | Lord Bentinck
CMera Bharat Mahan | Lord Canning
DMera Bharat Mahan | Lord Bentinck
Correct Answer: Jai Jawan Jai Kisan | Lord CanningYour Answer: A

Explanation

This paired question tests two independent historical relationships and requires both to be correct in the stated order. Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri gave the famous slogan 'Jai Jawan Jai Kisan' (Hail the Soldier Hail the Farmer) in 1965. The slogan captured the need to honour both the soldiers who defended the country and the farmers who fed it. He also called on Indians to skip one meal a week to support the war effort. The wording of “India's second Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri gave which famous slogan during the 1965 Indo-Pak war?” makes Jai Jawan Jai Kisan decisive because the stem combines a particular date, place and political consequence rather than For statement two, the supported answer is Lord Canning. The Hindu Widows' Remarriage Act received assent on 26 July 1856 during Lord Canning's tenure as Governor-General. Vidyasagar's campaign was central to the reform; Lord Dalhousie had left office earlier that year. Chronology resolves the item: Lord Canning occupies the position required by “The Widow Remarriage Act of 1856 was passed under which Governor-General due to efforts of Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar?”, while a merely famous contemporary name would not satisfy every part of the stem. This development forms part of the changing national movement, in which constitutional negotiation, mass mobilisation, boycott, civil disobedience and revolutionary Therefore the correct ordered pair is Jai Jawan Jai Kisan followed by Lord Canning. An option containing only one correct component must be rejected because the stem asks for a complete two-part match.

  • The second verified component is Lord Canning.
  • The ordered answer is Jai Jawan Jai Kisan followed by Lord Canning.
  • Any pair omitting Jai Jawan Jai Kisan or Lord Canning is incomplete.
  • Revise Jai Jawan Jai Kisan and Lord Canning from both cited references.
