Struggle for Swaraj Test - 2

The non-cooperation movement envisaged to be non-violent and to consist of Indians resigning their titles; boycotting government educational institutions, the courts, government service, foreign goods, and elections; and, eventually, refusing to pay taxes.

Gandhi, during Non-Co-Operation Movement, even before, and after the movement, laid central emphasis on using hand spun and hand woven cloth - khadi - made inside the country as a way to achieve swaraj. Promoting hand spun and woven khadi was the core of the Swadeshi programme, which meant first producing, and then using and distributing things in India.

The All India Trade Union Congress came into being in 1920 as the foremost representative of the labour movement in India. The one of the founder of The All India Trade Union Congress was N.M.Joshi.

This was a tribute paid by Sir Valentine Chirol to the genius Swami Vivekananda.

Since the establishment of the Indian National Congress Party in 1885, 60 people have served as president. The first president, Womesh Chandra Banerjee, presided over the first session of the Indian National Congress, held at Bombay in 1885 from 28 December to 31 December. The most recent serving president is Rahul Gandhi. The president of INC at the time of India's independence was J. B. Kripalani. Annie Besant was the first woman president of INC, whereas Sarojini Naidu was the first Indian woman president of INC.

'Do or die' slogan was given by Gandhiji during the Quit India Movement.

Swaraj Party was an Indian political party established in late 1922-early 1923 by members of the Indian National Congress (Congress Party), notably Motilal Nehru, one of the most prominent lawyers in northern India (and the father of political leader Jawaharlal Nehru), and Chitta Ranjan Das(C.R Das), a nationalist politician from Bengal.
C. R. Das was the President and Motilal Nehru was one of the secretaries. The Party was formed in order to fight British colonialism from within and give the people of India a responsible and responsive government by making the colonial state accountable.

The Swaraj Party was formed on January 9, 1923, by Indian politicians and members of the Indian National Congress who had opposed Mahatma's suspension of all civil resistance on February 5, 1922, in response to the Chauri Chaura tragedy, where policemen were killed by a mob of protestors. By their political activities, the Swarajists filled the political vacuum at a time when the national movement was recouping its strength.

They demonstrated that the councils could be used creatively by agitating powerful speeches on self-government and civil liberties and outvoting the Government several times, even on matters relating to budgetary grants.

Mahatma Gandhi remained non-committal to the Swarajist approach. He did not oblige. Step by step, he moved towards an accommodation with the Swarajists. In fact, his approach towards the Swarajists at this stage brought out some of the basic features of his political style, especially when dealing with co-workers with whom he differed.
