Why can boycott be called a political weapon in the Non-Cooperation Movement?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because it withdrew cooperation from the regime’s institutions, honours, and economic interests
The governing concept is non-cooperation as a form of political pressure. Boycott asked people to leave or avoid colonial schools, courts, councils, titles, and foreign goods, thereby weakening the institutions and economic foundations of British rule. It was more than a private purchasing choice. Options B, C, and D support or strengthen colonial authority rather than withdrawing legitimacy and cooperation from it.
