Which of the following revolutionaries was not associated with the Kakori…

Concept

Historical association is established through participation in an event, membership in the organisation that planned it, or prosecution in the corresponding case. Chronology provides an independent check: a person who died before an incident could not have taken part in it.

Application

The Kakori Train Action took place on 9 August 1925 and was carried out by revolutionaries of the Hindustan Republican Association to seize government treasury funds. Rajendra Lahiri, Ashfaqullah Khan, and Roshan Singh were connected with the Kakori action or its prosecution, whereas Khudiram Bose had already been executed in 1908 for the Muzaffarpur conspiracy.

Contrast

• Rajendra Lahiri helped stop the train during the Kakori action and was later executed in the Kakori case.

• Ashfaqullah Khan was a Hindustan Republican Association revolutionary prosecuted and executed in the Kakori case.

• Khudiram Bose was associated with the 1908 Muzaffarpur conspiracy and was executed seventeen years before the Kakori action.

• Roshan Singh was prosecuted and executed in connection with the Kakori case.

Cross-check

The event-and-date comparison separates Khudiram Bose's 1908 Muzaffarpur activity from the 1925 Kakori action and confirms that the other three names belong to the Kakori case record.

Result

Therefore, the revolutionary not associated with the Kakori Train Action was Khudiram Bose.
