2. Creation of Bangladesh
3. Operation blue star (storming of Golden temple at Amritsar)

  1. 1-2-3-4
  2. 1-2-4-3
  3. 2-4-1-3
  4. 2-3-1-4

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: C - 2-4-1-3
The second round of bank nationalisation, covering 6 banks, took place in April 1980. The order is: creation of Bangladesh (December 1971), declaration of the National Emergency (June 1975), nationalisation of the 6 banks (1980) and Operation Blue Star (June 1984), giving 2-4-1-3. The orders that begin with the bank nationalisation confuse it with the first round of 1969.
