A It occurred in the year 1918.

B It was located in Gandhiji\'s home state of Gujarat.

D The primary cause was the harsh treatment by British indigo planters.

💡 Short Explanation

📄 Passage

\"Non-cooperation,\" wrote Mahatma Gandhi\'s American biographer Louis Fischer, \"became the name of an epoch in the life of India and of Gandhiji. Non-cooperation was negative enough to be peaceful but positive enough to be effective. It entailed denial, renunciation, and self-discipline. It was training for self-rule.\" As a consequence of the Non-Cooperation Movement the British Raj was shaken to its foundations for the first time since the Revolt of 1857.

According to Louis Fischer, how did Non-cooperation manage to be effective while remaining peaceful?

A By entailing denial, renunciation, and self-discipline.

B By actively funding militant uprisings.

C By seeking the aid of the Turkish Sultan.

D By requesting separate electorates for peasants.
