(c) Gandhiji’s emphasis on the dignity of manual labour.
(d) Gandhiji’s rejection of everything associated with West
Ans: (d) Gandhiji’s rejection of everything associated with West
Explanation:
Gandhian critique of modernity does not involve a blanket rejection of everything associated with the West. While Mahatma Gandhi criticized certain aspects of Western civilization and its influence, his approach was nuanced and focused on specific aspects of modernity rather than a complete rejection.
While Gandhi had reservations about certain aspects of Western civilization, such as industrialization and its impact on human values, it is important to note that his critique was not a rejection of everything associated with the West. Gandhi drew inspiration from various sources, including Western thinkers and philosophies, and sought to synthesize different ideas to create his own unique approach to social, political, and economic issues.
