Answer 2

Answer:

The period from 1920 to 1947 had been described as the Gandhian Era in

Indian Politics. During this period, Gandhi spoke the final word on behalf of the

Indian National Congress in negotiating with the British Government for

constitutional reforms, and for chalking out a programme for the national movement.

Mahatma Gandhi led the national freedom struggle against the British rule. The most

unique thing about this struggle was that it was completely non-violent. The

political career of Gandhi started in South Africa where he launched a Civil

Disobedience Movement against the maltreatment meted out to Asian settlers. In

1916, he returned to India and took up the leadership of National Freedom Struggle.

After the death of freedom fighter and congress leader Bal Gangadhar Tilak on

August, 1920, Gandhi became virtually the sole navigator of the ship of the

congress.

Gandhi had whole heartedly supported the British during the 1st World

War (1914-1919). The end of war, however, did not bring the promised freedom for

India. So Gandhiji launched many movements to force the British to concede India

its Independence. The well known being: Non Co-operation Movement (1920), Civil

Disobedience Movement (1930) and Quit India Movement (1942).
