Consider the following statements. 1. The Muslim participation was no...
Explanation:
The correct answer is option 'D' - Neither of them.
Statement 1: The Muslim participation was nowhere in the civil disobedience movement because of appeals by Muslim leaders to stay away from the movement especially in NWFP.
This statement is incorrect. Muslim participation in the civil disobedience movement was significant in various parts of India, including the NWFP (North-West Frontier Province). Muslim leaders like Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan (also known as Bacha Khan) played a crucial role in mobilizing Muslims to participate in the movement. They believed in the principles of non-violence and joined hands with Mahatma Gandhi and the Indian National Congress in their struggle for independence. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that Muslim participation was nowhere in the civil disobedience movement.
Statement 2: Traders associations and commercial bodies opposed the movement.
This statement is incorrect. Traders associations and commercial bodies were actively involved in the civil disobedience movement. They participated in boycotts of British goods, closed their shops, and supported the non-cooperation movement. The All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC), which was formed in 1920, played a significant role in mobilizing workers and traders to join the movement. The traders and commercial bodies understood the economic impact of the movement and actively supported it. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that traders associations and commercial bodies opposed the movement.
In conclusion, both statements are incorrect.
