Question

why were jyotirao phule and ramaswamy naicker criticial of the national movement ?Did their criticism help the national struggle in any way?

Answer 1

Both Jyotirao Phule and Ramaswamy Naicker were critical of the national movement. Phule believed that mostly the upper caste leaders were involved in the nationalist movement against the British. He believed that once the British would leave, the people of upper caste would again use their power and authority oppress and subjugate the people belonging to lower castes. But this would create division among the people. Naicker believed that the lower castes have to fight their own battle.

Their criticisms did help in the nationalist movement. They not only wanted the country to become independent of the British control but also from various evil practices which had crept in the society.

Answer 2

They were critical of the national movement because the nationalists had made seating arrangements according to caste distinictions at feasts. The lower castes were made to sit at a distance Frome the upper castes.

Their criticism helped the national struggle to a great extent. Ramaswamy Naicker inspired the untouchables to fight for their diginity by initiating the Self Respect Movement.
