Why did the First World War make Indian nationalism not only political but also socio-economic?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because the war increased taxes, price rise, recruitment and public suffering
The governing historical concept is the wider social and economic impact of wartime colonial policy. During and after the First World War, government expenditure and military demands increased; Indians faced heavier taxation, inflation, forced or pressured recruitment and hardship. These experiences connected anti-colonial politics with everyday livelihoods, so option A is correct. The war did not immediately grant self-rule, end colonialism or free all peasants from rent.
