Modern History : Emergence Of Mahatma Gandhi And The Satyagraha Technique (1915-1919)
Which of the following pairs are correctly matched?
| Movement/Satyagraha | Person Actively Associated with |
|---|---|
| 1. Champaran | Rajendra Prasad |
| 2. Ahmedabad Mill Workers | Morarji Desai |
| 3. Kheda | Vallabhai Patel |
Select the correct answer using the code given below:
The Champaran Satyagraha (1917) was initiated by Mahatma Gandhi to address the grievances of indigo cultivators. Rajendra Prasad was among the prominent leaders who actively assisted Mahatma Gandhi in this movement, alongside J.B. Kripalani, Mahadev Desai, and Narhari Parikh. Thus, pair 1 is correctly matched.
The Kheda Satyagraha (1918) was a peasant movement against the British government's decision to collect full land revenue despite crop failure. Mahatma Gandhi, along with Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, played a crucial role in leading this satyagraha. Thus, pair 3 is correctly matched.
The Ahmedabad Mill Strike (1918) was led by Mahatma Gandhi. This movement involved textile mill workers demanding a 35% wage increase. Mahatma Gandhi undertook his first fast unto death in India during this strike to support the workers' demands. Morarji Desai was not associated with this specific movement. Therefore, pair 2 is incorrectly matched.
Options (a), (b), and (d) are incorrect as they include pair 2, which is falsely matched. Only pairs 1 and 3 are correctly matched.
