Q.1. What is meant by the idea of Satyagraha?
OR
Gandhiji said ?Satyagraha? was active resistance. How?
OR
Explain the idea of Satyagraha.
Ans. Gandhiji said ?Satyagraha? was not passive resistance but it called for intensive activity. Physical force was not used against the oppressor, nor vengeance was sought. Only through the power of truth and non-violence, an appeal was made to the conscience of the oppressor. Persuasion, not force, would make the oppressor realise the truth. This ?dharma? of non-violence and truth united people against the oppressor and made them realise the truth.
Q.2. Why were Indians outraged by the Rowlatt Act?
Ans. The Rowlatt Act was passed hurriedly by the Imperial Legislative Council in 1919. It was opposed by all its Indian members. The government assumed enormous powers through this Act as they could detain political prisoners without trial for two years. Gandhiji decided to launch a ?Hartal? on 6 April against the Rowlatt Act.
Q.3. Give one example to prove that Non-Cooperation Movement was more successful on the economic front.
Ans. One example is boycott of foreign goods. The import of foreign textile cloth became half of what it was, between 1921?1922. It fell from 102 crores to 57 crores.
Q.4. Which party did not support the boycott of council elections during the movement and why.
Ans. The Justice Party of Madras decided not to boycott Council elections. The Justice Party members were non-Brahmins and so far had not been able to win elections, as the Brahman candidates always won. They thought it was a golden opportunity for them to enter the Councils.
Q.5. Why did Gandhiji call off the Non-Cooperation Movement?
Ans. The Chauri Chaura incident near Gorakhpur made him to do so. A peaceful procession turned violent and burnt a police chowki at Chauri Chaura and 22 policemen were burnt alive. Gandhiji, an apostle of non-violence, was shocked and immediately called off the movement.
Q.6. What was the cause of disagreement between the Congress-led Non-Cooperation Movement and the peasants? and workers? movements?
Ans. The Congress under Gandhiji believed in achieving ?Swaraj? by peaceful means and total non-violence.
The peasants and workers, though believers in Gandhi?s Swaraj, khadi and boycott, did not believe in non-violence. They turned violent to gain their aims, which went against the Congress creed.
Q.7. What was the Inland Emigration Act of 1859?
Ans. The British government had passed this Act to prevent the plantation workers to leave the plantations and go back to their villages in Assam. They were forced to remain at the plantations and not leave them without permission. The permission to leave was seldom granted.

Mention two factors which influenced Indian politics in the late 1920s. [2011(T-2)]
Ans.
(i) The first was the worldwide economic depression which brought the agricultural prices crashing down in India. Farmers could not sell their produces and the whole country-side was in turmoil.
(ii) The British constituted a statutes commission in 1927 under Sir John Simon. The aim was to diffuse nationalism aroused by the Non-Cooperation Movement. The Commission was to look into the functioning of the constitutional system in India. It was an all-white commission, with not a single Indian member in it. It set the political world in India on fire and led to Gandhiji starting the Civil Disobedience Movement.
Q.9. Explain the difference in the objectives of the Non-Cooperation Movement and the Civil Disobedience Movement.
OR
