Which of the following is Not correctly matched? (Event) ; (Year )

The answer is D. The Communal Award was announced by Ramsay MacDonald, the British Prime Minister, on 16 August 1932, not in 1933. It granted separate electorates to Muslims, Sikhs, Depressed Classes and others in provincial legislatures. Gandhi opposed the Depressed Classes part and fasted in Yerwada jail, which led to the Poona Pact of September 1932 modifying the award for the Depressed Classes.

The other pairs are correct:

• Indian Navy Act, 1927: gave the naval force its statutory framework. The force was renamed Royal Indian Navy only in 1934, which is a separate fact.
• Civil Disobedience Movement, 1930: launched with the Dandi March in March-April 1930, after the Purna Swaraj resolution of 1929.
• Second Round Table Conference, 1931: held in London from September to December 1931, with Gandhi as the sole Congress representative.

Core concept: the constitutional path from the Morley-Minto reforms to the Government of India Act 1935, and how communal electorates shaped later politics. This is a recurring Mains theme on communalism and the national movement.

Trap: aspirants mix up the year of the Communal Award with the Poona Pact or the 1935 Act, which are closely linked in time.
