Difficulty: EasyGandhian Era and Major Mass Movements

Match the early Gandhian movements and Satyagrahas in List-I with their corresponding primary objective or key feature in List-II:

  • Champaran Satyagraha (1917)Protest against compulsory indigo cultivation under the Tinkathia system
  • Kheda Satyagraha (1918)Demand for land revenue remission following crop failure
  • Ahmedabad Mill Strike (1918)First use of a hunger strike by Gandhi for textile workers' wages
  • Vedaranyam Salt March (1930)Regional salt law violation led by C. Rajagopalachari along the Tamil Nadu coast

Answer

Champaran Satyagraha (1917) matches with protest against Tinkathia indigo system; Kheda Satyagraha (1918) matches with land revenue remission demand due to crop failure; Ahmedabad Mill Strike (1918) matches with the first hunger strike for mill workers' wages; Vedaranyam Salt March (1930) matches with the salt march led by C. Rajagopalachari in Tamil Nadu.
Each movement is matched with its distinct focus and leadership: Champaran involved indigo peasants fighting the Tinkathia system, Kheda involved peasants seeking land revenue remission, Ahmedabad involved textile workers and Gandhi's first hunger strike, and Vedaranyam involved C. Rajagopalachari leading the salt satyagraha on the Tamil coast.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Analyze Champaran Satyagraha (1917).
It focused on indigo farmers in Bihar suffering under the Tinkathia system.
This establishes the direct match between Champaran Satyagraha (1917) and relief from the compulsory indigo cultivation system.
2
Analyze Kheda Satyagraha (1918).
It addressed agrarian distress in Gujarat where farmers demanded land revenue exemption due to crop failure.
This links Kheda Satyagraha (1918) directly to land revenue remission demands.
3
Analyze Ahmedabad Mill Strike (1918).
It involved textile workers in an industrial wage dispute where Gandhi undertook his first hunger strike.
This pairs Ahmedabad Mill Strike (1918) with the first hunger strike for textile workers.
4
Analyze Vedaranyam Salt March (1930).
It was a coastal salt march organized by C. Rajagopalachari in Tamil Nadu during the Civil Disobedience Movement.
This pairs Vedaranyam Salt March (1930) with C. Rajagopalachari's regional salt law violation.
