Lala Lajpat Rai — Revision Notes

Updated 19 Oct 2026

⚡ 30-Second Revision

  • 1907: Mandalay deportation.
  • 1920: Calcutta special Congress session and AITUC leadership.
  • 1928: Simon Commission protest
  • death on 17 November.

2-Minute Revision

Connect agitation with self-help and institutions. Lajpat Rai's career crossed several phases and organisational settings, so a single label cannot explain every activity. His death became symbolic, but education, writing and public organisation are essential to assessing the whole contribution.

5-Minute Revision

Write a six-line biography with only one line on his death. Use the other lines to connect political context, institutional work and leadership. Then check every date so the 1907 deportation is not confused with the 1928 Simon Commission confrontation.
