Q. With reference to the initial Gandhian movements in India, consider the following statements

The correct option is B 2 and 3 only
Explanation:
Statement 1 is correct: Champaran Satyagraha (1917)—First Civil Disobedience. European planters had been forcing the peasants to grow indigo on 3/20 part of the total land (called the tinkathia system). Gandhiji was called as Requested by Rajkumar Shukla to look into the problems of the farmers in the context of indigo planters of Champaran.
Statements 2 and 3 are incorrect: Ahmedabad Mill Strike (1918)—First Hunger Strike. Gandhi asked the workers to go on a strike & demand a 35 % increase in wages instead of 50 %.
- This was the 1st strike called by Gandhi in India.
- Gandhi advised the workers to remain non-violent while on strike.
- When negotiations with mill owners did not progress, he himself undertook a fast unto death (his 1st)to strengthen the workers’ resolve.
Kheda Satyagraha (1918)—First Non-Cooperation.
The crops failed in Kheda district. According to the Revenue Code of British Government law, if the yield was less than 1/4th the normal produce, the farmers were entitled to remission.The government threatened that the property of the farmers would be seized if the taxes were not paid.Gandhi asked the farmers not to pay the taxes.
- Gandhiji was mainly the spiritual head of the struggle. It was Sardar Patel & a group of other devoted Gandhians -Narahari Parikh, Mohanlal Pandya & Ravi Shankar Vyas, who went around the villages, organised the villagers & guided them & gave the necessary political leadership.
- Rowlatt Satyagraha (1918)—First mass-strike.
- Gandhiji called the Rowlatt Act the “Black Act'' and argued that not everyone should get punishment in response to isolated political crimes). Gandhi called for a mass protest at all India levels.
- But soon, having seen the constitutional protest meet with ruthless repression, Gandhi organised a Satyagraha Sabha and roped in younger members of Home Rule Leagues and the Pan Islamists.
- The forms of protest finally chosen included observance of a nationwide hartal (strike) accompanied by fasting and prayer, and civil disobedience against specific laws, and courting arrest and imprisonment
