Difficulty: MediumGandhian Era and Major Mass Movements

Match the major Gandhian mass movement milestones listed in List-I with the corresponding Indian National Congress (INC) sessions or venues where they were formally adopted or endorsed in List-II:

  • Ratification of the Non-Cooperation Movement programNagpur Session (1920)
  • Authorization of Civil Disobedience and Poorna Swaraj declarationLahore Session (1929)
  • Passage of the Quit India ResolutionBombay Session (1942)
  • Decision to launch Individual SatyagrahaWardha Meeting (1940)

Answer

The correct matching aligns the ratification of the Non-Cooperation Movement program with the Nagpur Session (1920), the authorization of Civil Disobedience with the Lahore Session (1929), the passage of the Quit India Resolution with the Bombay Session (1942), and the decision for Individual Satyagraha with the Wardha Meeting (1940).
The Non-Cooperation Movement program was ratified at the Nagpur Session in December 1920. The Civil Disobedience Movement was authorized following the Poorna Swaraj declaration at the Lahore Session in December 1929. The Quit India Resolution was adopted by the AICC at the Bombay Session on August 8, 1942. Individual Satyagraha was planned and authorized at the Wardha meetings in 1940.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the INC session associated with the Non-Cooperation Movement ratification.
The Non-Cooperation resolution was initially passed at the special Calcutta session in September 1920 and fully ratified along with organizational changes at the regular Nagpur Session in December 1920.
This establishes the formal organizational launch of the Non-Cooperation phase.
2
Associate the Poorna Swaraj mandate with the launch of Civil Disobedience.
Under the presidency of Jawaharlal Nehru at the Lahore Session in December 1929, the goal of Complete Independence was declared and the Working Committee was authorized to start Civil Disobedience.
This links the goal of complete independence to the second major pan-Indian movement.
3
Differentiate between the late-phase Gandhian movements and their resolution venues.
Individual Satyagraha was planned at Wardha in October 1940, whereas the All India Congress Committee formally passed the Quit India Resolution at Gowalia Tank, Bombay, on August 8, 1942.
This separates wartime Gandhian strategies by their meeting sites and years.
