Why did Gandhi plan to conduct the Non-Cooperation Movement in stages?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: So that the movement remained disciplined and controlled
Gandhi planned a gradual programme because a mass struggle required preparation, organisation and strict adherence to non-violence. Stages allowed people to learn methods such as surrendering titles, boycotting institutions and using swadeshi goods before more intense action was considered. The purpose was not to exclude the public or restrict the movement to soldiers. Compulsory violence directly contradicted his method.
