On which principle did Gandhi base the Non-Cooperation Movement?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Non-violence
Gandhi based the movement on ahimsa, or non-violence. The strategy was to withdraw cooperation from colonial institutions through peaceful actions such as boycotts, resignation of honours, and refusal to use certain institutions, rather than through physical force. Violence contradicted the movement’s discipline and moral basis; foreign trade and monarchy were not its governing principles. Therefore A is correct.
