Let's match the Indian independence movements in List I with their primary purposes or characteristics in List II:
(A) Quit India Movement: Launched in 1942, its main aim was to compel the British to leave India (II) immediately. The slogan "Quit India" encapsulates this objective.
(B) Civil Disobedience Movement: Started by Mahatma Gandhi in 1930 with the Salt Satyagraha, this movement was characterized by the refusal to obey certain laws, orders, or commands of the government (III) as a form of nonviolent protest.
(C) Non Cooperation Movement: Launched in 1920, this movement involved Indians resigning their titles, boycotting foreign goods and government institutions, and refusing to pay taxes (IV) as a means of protesting British rule.
(D) Home Rule League Movement: Initiated around 1916 by Annie Besant and Bal Gangadhar Tilak, the primary goal of the Home Rule League Movement was to achieve self-government in India (I) within the British Empire, advocating for greater Indian political representation and autonomy.
Therefore, the correct matching is:
A - II
B - III
C - IV
D - I
This corresponds to option (D)
