UPSC 1998: Assertion (A): Partition of Bengal in 1905 brought to an end the Moderates’ role in the Indian freedom movement. Reason (R): The Surat session of Indian National Congress separated the Extremists from the Moderates.

(c)A is true, but R is false
(d)A is false, but R is true
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) A is false, but R is true
Moderate leaders continued to participate actively after 1905 (e.g., they controlled Congress between 1908-15), so the Assertion that their role ended with Bengal’s partition is false. The Surat session of 1907 did formally split Moderates and Extremists, making the Reason true. Hence A is false while R is true.
