Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) Surendranath Banerji
Surendranath Banerjee, who qualified for the Indian Civil Service in 1869, was dismissed from his post in Sylhet in 1874 for a procedural ‘misconduct’, an action he and many contemporaries attributed to racial prejudice. The UPSC-1999 key also lists option (b) as correct. Satyendranath Tagore and R. C. Dutt completed their service careers, while Subhas Chandra Bose resigned from the ICS training on his own.
