⚡ 30-Second Revision

  • 1920 Non-Cooperation: withdrawal.
  • 1930 Civil Disobedience: law-breaking, salt.
  • 1942 Quit India: wartime demand for British withdrawal.
  • Chauri Chaura: 1922 suspension context.

2-Minute Revision

Compare context, programme and implementation. National leadership supplied direction and symbols; participants brought local grievances and expectations. The challenge was to turn diversity into sustained pressure while maintaining discipline and responding to repression.

5-Minute Revision

Create three rows for 1920, 1930 and 1942. Write the defining action, one organisational difficulty and one caution about claiming uniform participation. Then explain why a single paragraph on Gandhi's personality cannot substitute for this comparison.
