उत्तर
The following factors contributed to the development of Gandhian nationalism and the significance of Gandhiji and his adherents:
- When Gandhiji returned to India, he was well aware of the necessity of educating the populace in order to win India's independence from the British, as this could only be done through a general uprising.
- Since he was aware that the British government would completely outlaw any form of violence, he taught his followers the concepts of Satyagraha and non-violence. His followers were very serious about his message and followed the path of non-violence.
- Gradually, the general populace came to revere Gandhiji as a saviour who would put an end to their suffering. They did so by giving him the respect he deserved and by spreading his nonviolent philosophy of Satyagraha.
- Gandhiji advised his followers not to use violence during the first nationwide movement, the Non-Cooperation Movement, which called for a boycott of British goods and services. His followers adopted the concept, abstaining from violent tactics, and aligning themselves with Satyagraha.
- Gandhiji and his supporters' efforts contributed to the development of Gandhian nationalism.
