TRAP 1:
All revolutionary organisations emerged for exactly the same reason.
WRONG.
Different phases had different immediate causes, though colonial rule and anti-imperial nationalism remained the common foundation.
TRAP 2:
The Partition of Bengal directly created all revolutionary organisations in India.
WRONG.
It was especially important for radicalisation in Bengal.
TRAP 3:
Ghadar emerged only because of events inside India.
WRONG.
Diaspora conditions and international political developments were also important.
TRAP 4:
HRA and HSRA had identical ideological orientation.
WRONG.
HSRA reflected a greater ideological emphasis on socialism and anti-imperialism.
TRAP 5:
Revolutionary nationalism remained confined to one region.
WRONG.
It developed in several Indian regions and major overseas centres.

Revolutionary Nationalism emerged from dissatisfaction with the limitations of constitutional politics, colonial repression, Swadeshi-era radicalisation and international influences. These causes produced different leaders and organisations across regions, evolving from early secret societies to organised revolutionary movements such as the HRA and the socialist-oriented HSRA.
