Why was the demand for swaraj in the Non-Cooperation Movement not only political but also moral?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because not cooperating with unjust rule was seen as a duty
The governing concept was satyagraha-based non-cooperation: an unjust authority should not receive voluntary support. Gandhi therefore presented swaraj not merely as a constitutional or political objective, but as a moral struggle requiring people to withdraw from institutions, titles and goods that sustained colonial rule. Option A is correct because it expresses this ethical duty. The other options reverse or distort the meaning of swaraj.
