What was the basic principle of the Non-Cooperation Movement?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Withdrawing cooperation from unjust rule
The governing concept is non-violent resistance through withdrawal of consent. Gandhi argued that colonial administration depended partly on the cooperation of Indian subjects; refusing titles, institutions, goods and services could undermine that authority without adopting violence. Hence option A is correct. Option B supports colonialism, option C ignores the movement’s commitment to non-violence, and option D contradicts its mass-participation character.
