Question

Which among the following was not a feature of the Non-Co-operation Movement?

• A. Unity of Hindus and Muslims.
• B. Use of Swadeshi articles.
• C. Burning of foreign goods.
• D. Promotion of untouchability.

Answer 1

The correct option is D Promotion of untouchability.

Hindu-Muslim unity was established during the Non-Cooperation Movement. People lit public bonfires of foreign clothes and goods and promoted Indian (Swadeshi) goods. Thus, the imports of foreign clothes and other goods fell drastically; the market for Indian goods started to grow. People contributed one crore rupees to the ‘Tilak Swarajya Fund’. Social issues like untouchability and its prohibition were also discussed.
