08 Which ideological tension within Congress became clear from the Surat Split?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Tension between constitutional petition and direct mass pressure
Explanation: The direct answer is A. The Surat Split of 1907 made clear the conflict between the Moderates and the Extremists within the Indian National Congress. Moderates generally preferred constitutional methods such as petitions, discussions and gradual reform. Extremists wanted stronger methods, wider public mobilisation, boycott, swadeshi and more direct pressure on the colonial government. Option A correctly describes this tension as constitutional petition versus direct mass pressure. Option B is wrong because religious reform and education reform were not the central division causing the Surat Split. Option C is wrong because Mughal rule and princely rule were not the issue inside Congress in 1907. Option D is wrong because disagreement over salt and cotton taxes did not define the split. The date is useful: the division occurred at the Surat session in 1907. Memory cue: Surat means the Congress conflict between Moderate methods and Extremist methods became open.
09 What can be understood by studying the founding of Muslim League and Morley-Minto reforms together?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Politics of community-based representation became stronger
Explanation: The direct answer is A: politics based on community representation became stronger. The Muslim League was founded in 1906, and the Morley–Minto Reforms were introduced in 1909. The reforms provided separate electorates for Muslims, meaning that Muslim voters could elect Muslim representatives. Thus, an organisation formed to represent a community and a constitutional reform giving separate representation together show the strengthening of communal or community-based representation in politics. Option A is correct because it describes this exact historical connection. Option B is wrong because the Congress did not end; it continued to lead important political activities. Option C is wrong because India did not become fully independent in 1906 or 1909. Option D is wrong because the Salt Satyagraha began much later, in 1930, under Gandhi. Memory cue: League 1906, reforms 1909, separate electorates.
10 What complexity arose when political cooperation and communal representation came together in the Lucknow Pact?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. National political cooperation increased, but accepting separate electorates also legitimised communal politics
Explanation: The 1916 Lucknow Pact strengthened political cooperation between the Congress and the Muslim League, an important achievement for the national movement. However, the Congress accepted separate electorates for Muslims, giving legitimacy to representation on communal lines and reinforcing a later political problem. Option B is incorrect because communal representation was accepted, not rejected, in the pact. Exam tip: remember both aspects of the Lucknow Pact—Congress-League cooperation and acceptance of separate electorates.
11 How did the Home Rule Movement change the language of Swaraj?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. It made self-government a broad demand for political rights
Explanation: The direct answer is A: Home Rule turned self-government into a broad public demand for political rights. Before this movement, Swaraj was discussed by political groups but was not equally popular among ordinary people. In 1916, Bal Gangadhar Tilak and Annie Besant organised Home Rule leagues and demanded that Indians should govern their own country, while still initially working within the British Empire. Meetings, newspapers and speeches spread the idea across regions. Option A is correct because it explains the political expansion of Swaraj. B is wrong because Swaraj was not a religious ritual. C is wrong because Home Rule was not army recruitment. D is wrong because it was not a tax. Exam cue: Tilak and Besant, 1916, self-government.
12 How did Gandhi give moral legitimacy to legal disobedience in Champaran?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. By investigating peasant grievances and standing against unjust system
Explanation: In Champaran, Gandhi did not present civil disobedience as a personal challenge to law or authority. He first listened to the peasants, collected evidence about their grievances, and examined the unjust indigo arrangement. When the administration ordered him to leave, he accepted the legal consequences but refused to abandon the people without addressing their suffering. This connected resistance with truth and public welfare.
Option A is correct because investigation of peasant complaints and peaceful opposition to an unjust system gave the action moral legitimacy. Gandhi’s Satyagraha relied on facts, non-violence, courage, and public opinion rather than force. Calling the British army, forming the Simon Commission, or separating princely states had no role in this process. The supplied answer accurately captures the Champaran method.
15 What did the difficulty of Rowlatt Satyagraha teach Gandhi about mass movements?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Maintaining non-violent discipline in a large mass movement is difficult
Explanation: The direct answer is A: maintaining non-violent discipline in a large mass movement is difficult. The Rowlatt Satyagraha of 1919 brought many people into political action against the Rowlatt Act. It showed the strength of public participation, but disturbances and violence in some places also showed how difficult it is to keep a very large and emotionally charged movement strictly peaceful. Gandhi therefore understood that mass mobilisation required training, discipline, clear leadership, and control; a movement could not rely only on enthusiasm. Option A correctly states this lesson. Option B is wrong because people did participate in politics in large numbers. Option C is wrong because the British response was not always peaceful; repression occurred. Option D is wrong because satyagraha was used in India and was not limited to foreign countries. Memory cue: 1919 taught Gandhi both the power of the masses and the need for non-violent discipline.
20 How should the relationship between Simon Commission and Nehru Report be understood?
0 reads0 helpful★ – (0)
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Indian leaders presenting a constitutional alternative after boycotting the British commission
Explanation: The British government appointed the Simon Commission in 1927 to review constitutional reforms in India, but it had no Indian member. Indian leaders therefore boycotted it. In response, Indian leaders prepared the Nehru Report in 1928 under Motilal Nehru's chairmanship, proposing a constitutional framework for India. Therefore, option A is correct. Option B is incorrect because the Nehru Report was drafted by Indian leaders, not by the Simon Commission. Exam tip: remember the sequence—boycott of the Simon Commission, followed by the Nehru Report of 1928.
