Answers
Answer:
For middle classes in cities, the call of Swaraj led to boycott of government institution. In town the movement was relatively peaceful. everyone students, headmasters and lawyers left their jobs. The council elections were boycotted in most provinces. foreign products and clothes were boycotted and burnt, so the movement slowed down gradually due to lack of alternatives.
For the peasants and tribals, Swaraj meant not only freedom from British rule, but also at the hands of landlords. So they organized themselves and demanded reduction of revenue and abolition of beggar. in the countryside there were the houses being attacked. So the tribals started guerilla resistance movements they had been deprived of access to forest and its resources.
Answer:
Swarāj (Hindi: स्वराज swa- "self", raj "rule") can mean generally self-governance or "self-rule", and was used synonymously with "home-rule" by Maharishi Dayanand Saraswati and later on by Mohandas Gandhi,[1] but the word usually refers to Gandhi's concept for Indian independence from foreign domination.[2] Swaraj lays stress on governance, not by a hierarchical government, but by self governance through individuals and community building. The focus is on political decentralisation.[3] Since this is against the political and social systems followed by Britain, Gandhi's concept of Swaraj advocated India's discarding British political, economic, bureaucratic, legal, military, and educational institutions.[4] S. Satyamurti, Chittaranjan Das and Motilal Nehru were among a contrasting group of Swarajists who laid the foundation for parliamentary democracy in India.
