VI. Answer the following in detail.

 1.  Examine the  factors  that  led to the  transformation  of Gandhi into a mass leader. 

Gandhi,  after his  education  in  India,  sailed  to  England  in  1888  to  study  law.    After becoming a barrister in 1891, he returned to India. 

At that time,a Gujarati firm in SouthAfrica sought the services of Gandhi for legal help. So, Gandhi went to South Africa in 1893. 

Gandhi in south Africa:

 .In SouthAfrica,Gandhi faces racial discrimination for the first time.He launched a struggle against unjust laws. 

.Gandhi  called  a  meeting  of the  Indians  in  the Transvaal  and  exhorted them to form an association to seek redress of their grievances. 

.Gandhi developed  satyagraha  (devotion  to  the  truth)  as  a  strategy.    He experimented with it for fighting the issues of immigration and racial disc rim.

 .Finally,  he succeeded  his  attempt.  By the Smuts-Gandhi  Agreement, the Poll  Tax on indentured labourers was abolished. 

Champaran Sathyagraha:

 .The  real  experiment  of  Satyagraha  was  started  in  April  1917  at  Champaran  in  Bihar. 

.The  peasants were forced by  the European  planters  to  cultivate indigo  on  three twentieths of their land holdings.

 .Gandhi went to Champaran and started Satyagraha.  It was a successful one. 

. It was followed  by  Ahmadabad  mill  strike (1918)  and  Mheda  Satyagraha  (1918) helped Gandhi establish himself as a leader of mass struggle. 

NonCo-operationMovement

.The great merit of Gandhi  was that he brought  the people into  the limelight  of Indian politics through the novel weapon of Satyagraha.  

.Gandhi  explained  that  Satyagraha  was  not  mere  passive  resistance but  an  active mass resistance to unjust rule.  

.The  enactment of the Rowlatt Act in  1919  provided  an  opportunity  to him  to launch satyagraha  at the national  level.  He started  the Non  co-operation  Movement in  1920 which spread throughout the country. 

Civil disobedience Movement: 

.In  1930,  this movement transformed into  mass movement drawing  all  sections  of the population including women to the streets. 

.Thousands  of people  including  Gandhi  were arrested.   Even  after  that, the British found to difficult to control the movement.


.The policies of Gandhi made him as a mass leader.  Gandhi became the undisputed leader of the congress from 1920. 

 .Under his leadership, India got the independence on 15th Aug. 1947. 

2. Critically examine the Civil Disobedience Movement as the typical example of Gandhian movement. 

The Civil Disobedience Movement led by Gandhi in the year 1930 was an important milestone in the history of Indian Nationalism. The programs and policies adopted in the movement reflected the political ideologies of ahimsa and sat Yahweh.The essence of The Civil Disobedience Movement was defying of the British laws.

  SaltSatyagraha 

.Gandhi inaugurated the Civil Disobedience Movement on 12th March 1930 by conducting the historic Dandi Salt march.  

.He started the march from his Sabarmati Ashram to Dandi, Gujarat with 78 inmates. 

 .On 6th April 1930, Gandhi violated the salt law by picking up a fistful of salt the sea shore. 

 .Dandi Salt March had an immense impact on the entire nation. Each and every corner of the country was gripped in a unique fervour of nationalism.

  .There were reports of Satyagrahas and law violation from Bombay, Central and United Provinces, Tamil Nadu, Bengal and Gujarat.  

.The program of the Civil Disobedience Movement incorporated picketing of shops selling foreign goods and liquor,bonfire of cloth,refusal to pay taxes and avoidance of offices by the public officers and schools by the students

Features of the movement: 

.Thus, the second struggle for attaining Swaraj launched by the Congress, under the guidance of Mahatma, served the critical function of mobilizing the masses on a large scale against the British. 

.Although The Civil Disobedience Movement was given up in 1933, it was an important juncture in the history of Indian independence. 

.the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi had a beneficial impact.Satyagraha was put on a firm footing through it's large scale usage in the movement. 

.Last but not the least,India rediscovered it's inherent strength and confidence to crusade against the British for its freedom. 

3. Discuss the reasons behind the partition of India.

 The British Government followed Divide and Rule policy to separate the Muslims and Hindus and weaken the national movement. Partition of Bengal and Formation of Muslim League are the examples of Divide and Rule Policy.  It ended with the partition of India in 1947.

Khilafat Movement:

.In  1919,  the Indian  Muslims  started  the Khilafat Movement against  the British.   In 1920, they accepted and adopted Gandhi’s Non Co-operation Movement. 

. Gandhi  suspended  the Non co-operation  Movement  in  1922  because  of Chauri chaura incident. 

. Gandhi  suspended  the movement without discussing  with the Muslim  leaders. It infuriated them. 

Nehru’sReport

.In  1928,  Nehru’s  Report, prepared  by  Mothilal  Nehru,  was  presented to the British government. Jinnah proposed an amendment and suggested Fourteen Points. 

.Both of them were rejected in the All Party Conference. 

.Jinnah  who  was  hailed  as  Ambassador  of Hindu-Muslims  Unity  thereafter  changed his stand and began to support the causes of the Muslims. 

Provincial Election: 

.Provincial  elections were held  in  1937.  Congress got  the majority  and  formed  ministry in seven provinces.

 .The  colonial  government of  India  entered  the  World  War  without  consulting  the Congress ministries.

 .So,  the Congress ministries  resigned  in  protest.  Jinnah  declared the day as “Day  of Deliverance’ and demanded a separate state for the Muslims.

.

.Difference between the Congress and Muslim League developed year by year.

 .The  proposals of Caninet  Mission  were accepted  by Muslims  League  and  Congress.  But, both interpreted in differently. 

.So, Jinnah declared 16 Aug. 1946 as the ‘Direct Action Day’. Hartals and demonstrations took place which soon turned into communal classes between Hindus and Muslims  

.There were lot bloodsheds in the country.  Gandhi tried to bring peace but failed.   

.So, partition of India became inevitable. 

Partition of India:

 . Interim  government was  formed  in  September 1946.  After some  hesitation,  the Muslims League joined in it.

 .Mount  Batten, the last Viceroy of India  came up  with a plan  to divide  India  into  India Union and Pakistan. 

. leaders  accepted  the plan.  As per the plan,  India  was divided  and  got independence on 15 August 1947.
