On the same political outline map of India two places have been marked as ‘A’ and ‘B’, as centres of the Indian National Movement. Identify them and write their correct names on the lines drawn near them.
Show Hint
A = Dandi (Coastal Gujarat, 1930).
B = Chauri Chaura (Eastern UP, 1922).
Remember: Dandi started the movement, Chauri Chaura stopped the previous one.
• The Indian National Movement was marked by specific regional events that acted as turning points for the struggle.
• Identifying these sites requires matching the map's markers with the geographic locations of famous protests and incidents.
Step 1: Identify Place 'A'
Place 'A' is marked in the state of Gujarat, specifically on the southern coastline.
In the history of the freedom struggle, this coastal location corresponds to the destination of Mahatma Gandhi's Salt March in 1930.
Therefore, Place 'A' is Dandi.
It was here that Gandhi ceremonially broke the Salt Law, initiating the Civil Disobedience Movement. Step 2: Identify Place 'B'
Place 'B' is marked in the eastern part of the state of Uttar Pradesh, near the border with Bihar.
This region is famous for a significant incident in 1922 during the Non-Cooperation Movement.
The location corresponds to the village where a mob set fire to a police station, leading Gandhi to withdraw the movement.
Therefore, Place 'B' is Chauri Chaura.
