Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: 1905

Explanation: ✅ Correct Answer: A. 1905 📚 Explanation: The Carlyle Circular was issued by the British government in October 1905 during the anti-partition agitation in Bengal. It threatened to withdraw grants and recognition from schools whose students participated in political activities. This was an attempt to suppress the youth participation in the Swadeshi and Boycott movements. In response, Indian leaders established national schools and colleges to provide education outside of British control.
