Let us break down each event to understand why this mapping is correct:
(A) Gujarat Movement → (IV) January 1974
The Navnirman Movement in Gujarat was a socio-political movement started by students and middle-class people in December 1973 against economic crisis, corruption, and price rise. It gained major momentum and peaked in January 1974, eventually leading to the resignation of the Chief Minister Chimanbhai Patel and the dissolution of the state assembly.
(B) Bihar Movement → (III) March 1974
Inspired by the Gujarat protests, students in Bihar, led by figures like Jayaprakash Narayan, initiated a movement against misrule, corruption, inflation, and unemployment. The protests turned into a full-scale agitation starting in March 1974 (often referred to as the JP Movement or Bihar Movement).
(C) Assam Movement → (II) 1979
The Assam Movement (or Assam Agitation) was a popular uprising led by the All Assam Students' Union (AASU) and the All Assam Gana Sangram Parishad (AAGSP) demanding the identification and deportation of illegal immigrants. This movement officially began in 1979 and continued until the signing of the Assam Accord in 1985.
(D) Railway Strike → (I) May 1974
The historic nationwide railway strike, led by George Fernandes and the National Coordination Committee for Railwaymen's Struggle (NCCRS), commenced in May 1974 (specifically from May 8 to May 27, 1974). It was one of the largest industrial strikes in India, demanding better wages, bonus, and revised working hours.
