What caution is necessary while understanding peasants' participation in the Non-Cooperation Movement?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Their participation should not be understood only through a uniform Congress programme
Peasants participated in the national movement, but their reasons were not identical everywhere. Along with opposition to colonial rule, they often raised local demands against landlords, high rents, forced labour or other forms of exploitation. Their actions therefore combined national and local meanings. Option A is correct because it avoids treating all participation as a single Congress programme. Options B, C and D make historically inaccurate generalisations.
