Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

In South Africa, on a journey by train from Durban to Pretoria, he was forcibly thrown out of a first-class compartment, even though he had a valid ticket. Gandhiji was hurt by the racial injustice and discrimination to which Indians had to submit in South Africa. He started his non-violent civil disobedience movement to protest against the discriminating treatment meted out to Indians. Thus, it was during this struggle that Mahatma Gandhi evolved the technique of satyagraha (non-violent resistance) based on truth and non-violence.

  2. A, C

  3. B, D

  4. B, C

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Both the movements dealt with the problems of the peasants in different places. Champaran is in Bihar where peasants were forced to cultivate indigo. Gandhiji did a satyagaraha in 1917 to secure justice for the peasants.

Due to constant famines, the crops had failed in the Kheda district of Gujarat. The British government had compelled the peasants to pay land revenue. The local peasants, therefore, started a no- tax movement in Kheda district in 1918 which was led by Gandhiji.

  1. The land taxes were altogether abolished.

  2. The increased taxes were abolished.

  3. The taxes were abolished for two years.

  4. There was no change in the tax structure.

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Kheda is a district in the state of Gujarat. Farmers here faced a terrible famine. After this British conducted a land survey and compelled the peasants to pay land revenue. They, therefore, started a no- tax movement in Kheda district in 1918. Gandhiji organised the peasants to offer satyagraha. The peasants refused to pay land revenue and ultimately the government was forced to arrive at a settlement with the peasants.
