Mahatma Gandhi And The Nationalist Movement
When Gandhiji returned to India in 1915 he observed a few changes in India. Mention any two such changes.
(i) When Gandhiji came back to India in 1915, then India was quite different from the one which he had left in 1893. Now the Indian National Congress had its branches in most of the Indian towns and cities. I.N.C. had greatly broadened its appeal among general masses through the Swadeshi Movement of 1905-07.
(ii) At one level, Gandhiji’s speech of Banaras in February 1916 was a statement of fact. It was so because elite class of lawyers, doctors and landlords alone represented the Indian nationalism. But at another level his statement was showing his intent because he gave stress that Indian nationalism should properly represent the Indian people as a whole.
