Question for Assertion & Reason Type Questions: Nationalism in India
Try yourself: Direction: Mark the Option Which Is Most Suitable:
Assertion : The Non-Cooperation Movement gradually slowed down for a variety of reasons in the cities.
Reason : As the boycott movement spread, and people began discarding imported clothes and wearing only Indian ones, production of Indian textile mills and handlooms went up.

Question for Assertion & Reason Type Questions: Nationalism in India
Try yourself: Direction: Mark the Option Which Is Most Suitable:
Assertion : When Simon Commission arrived in India, it was greeted with the slogan ‘Go back Simon’.
Reason : This happened as Mahatma Gandhi was on Dandi March during that time.
