Question

On the same political outline map of India, two places have been marked as ‘A’ and ‘B’, as the centres of the Indian National Movement. Identify them and write their correct names on the lines drawn near them.

Hint:

Champaran Satyagraha was launched to protest against the indigo cultivation (Tinkathia system). Amritsar is a vital site to remember for the tragic turning point it provided in the national movement.

Answer 1

Concept:

• Mapping the centres of the Indian National Movement is crucial for understanding the geographic spread of the struggle for independence.
• Locations 'A' and 'B' on the map correspond to major historical events of the movement.

Step 1: Identifying the marked locations
Based on the standard map provided for the Indian National Movement:
- Marking 'A' corresponds to Amritsar (Punjab), the site of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.
- Marking 'B' corresponds to Champaran (Bihar), the site of the first Satyagraha launched by Gandhiji in 1917.
