Question

What did the Smuts-Gandhi agreement guarantee the people?

• A. The British would immediately evacuate South Africa.
• B. There would be no more "white only" reserved compartments on trains.
• C. There would be no more Poll tax.
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C There would be no more Poll tax.

The constant endeavour of the Satyagrahis in South Africa finally got some results in 1914. The Smuts-Gandhi agreement in 1914 removed the poll tax levied on the 'Bonded Labourers'.
