The role of Britain has declined in South Asia ever since it moved from the east of Suez in :

  • A.1970
  • B.1971
  • C.1972
  • D.1973

Answer: B

The keyed year is 1971.

In January 1968 the British government, under economic pressure after the devaluation of sterling, announced that it would withdraw its forces from bases east of Suez, in the Persian Gulf, Malaysia and Singapore. The withdrawal was completed by the end of 1971, which is the date usually given for Britain's departure east of Suez and the decline of its military role in the Indian Ocean and South Asia.

1970, 1972 and 1973 do not mark the completion of the withdrawal.
