Q. Which of the following is not a form of Gandhian Satyagraha?
(a) Non-Cooperation
(b) Civil Disobedience
(c) Hunger strike
(d) Hijrat
Ans: (d) Hijrat
Explanation: The form of Gandhian Satyagraha that is not listed is option (d) Hijrat.
Non-Cooperation, Civil Disobedience, and Hunger Strike are all recognized forms of Satyagraha associated with Mahatma Gandhi and his philosophy of nonviolent resistance.
Non-Cooperation refers to the act of refusing to cooperate with the unjust laws and policies of the ruling authorities, aiming to bring about change through nonviolent means such as boycotting British institutions, refusing to pay taxes, and withdrawing from governmental positions.
Civil Disobedience involves the deliberate violation of unjust laws or regulations while accepting the legal consequences, with the intention of highlighting the injustice and advocating for change. It includes acts like protests, demonstrations, and acts of civil disobedience that challenge the oppressive regime or system.
Hunger Strike, also known as a fast or Satyagraha fasting, is a form of protest in which an individual abstains from food as a means of expressing dissent and demanding a specific outcome. Hunger strikes were employed by Gandhi as a powerful tool to draw attention to the issues and injustices he was protesting against.
Hijrat, on the other hand, refers to the act of migration or relocation, particularly in a religious or political context. While migration and relocation may be strategic actions taken by individuals or groups for various reasons, it is not considered a specific form of Gandhian Satyagraha.
