Correction:
B. After Gandhiji's return to India, his first public appearance and speech was not in Champaran. (On Gokhale’s advice, Gandhiji spent a year travelling around British India, getting to know the land and its peoples. His first major public appearance was at the opening of the Banaras Hindu University (BHU) in February 1916. )
C. Rowlatt Satyagraha was not organised in 1922. (Rowlatt Satyagraha (March-April of 1919: Gandhiji called for a countrywide campaign against the “Rowlatt Act”. In towns across North and West India, life came to a standstill, as shops shut down and schools closed in response to the bandh call. The protests were particularly intense in the Punjab, where many men had served on the British side in the War – expecting to be rewarded for their service. Instead they were given the Rowlatt Act. Gandhiji was detained while proceeding to the Punjab, even as prominent local Congressmen were arrested. The situation in the province grew progressively more tense, reaching a bloody climax in Amritsar in April 1919, when a British Brigadier ordered his troops to open fire on a nationalist meeting. More than four hundred people were killed in what is known as the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.)
E. Civil Disobedience was not started in 1925. (In 1930 Civil Disobedience Movement began. Dandi March (March-April) marked the beginning of the Civil disobedience movement.) |
