The correct answer is Option 4- 1919 The Satyagraha Sabha was founded by Gandhi in 1919. The Satyagraha Sabha was a political organization founded by Mahatma Gandhi in Bombay, India, on February 24, 1919. The purpose of the Sabha was to protest the Rowlatt Act, a repressive law passed by the British colonial government in India. The Rowlatt Act allowed the British government to detain people without charge or trial, and to search houses without a warrant. The Satyagraha Sabha was a turning point in the Indian independence movement. It was the first time that Gandhi had organized a mass movement against British rule. The Sabha also helped to popularize Gandhi's philosophy of non-violent resistance, or satyagraha. The Satyagraha Sabha was disbanded in 1920, after the British government repealed the Rowlatt Act. However, the Sabha had a lasting impact on the Indian independence movement. It helped to show the British that Indians were united in their opposition to colonial rule, and it inspired other movements for freedom and justice around the world. |
