Question

Mahatma Gandhi believed that industrialisation was no answer to the problems that plague the mass of India's poor and that villagers should be taught to be self-sufficient in food, weave their own cloth from cotton and

eschew the glittering prizes that the 20th century so temptingly offers. Such an idyllic and rural paradise did not appear to those who inherited the reins of political power.

Mahatma Gandhi's dream of 'an idyllic and rural paradise' was not shared by

• A. Those who did not believe in the industrialisation of the country
• B. Those who called him the Father of Nation
• C. Those who inherited political powers after independence
• D. Those who believed that villages should be self-sufficient in food and cloth

Answer 1
