Prelims MCQ · Modern History and the Freedom Struggle

The No-Changers established ashrams and national educational institutions, promoted khadi, worked for communal unity and the removal of untouchability, and later supplied organisers for civil disobedience. Yet national education reached limited social groups, khadi was costlier than imported cloth, and the economic grievances of landless labourers received insufficient attention.

  1. Constructive work replaced preparation for civil disobedience with permanent participation in constitutional politics.

  3. Constructive activity had no organisational connection with subsequent phases of mass struggle.
