About this question

Why in news

An essay marking the sesquicentenary of the Indian Association draws a historical line from the 1876 ICS protests through the 1976 Soweto uprising to the 2026 NEET-UG protests, examining state responses to youth dissent.

Why for UPSC

This format tests precise sequencing of historically parallel but chronologically distinct events spanning colonial India, apartheid South Africa and Emergency-era India - requiring more than vague thematic association.
