Question

Two places `A' and `B' have been marked on the given political outline map of India. Identify them with the help of the following information and write their correct names on the lines drawn near them: A. The place where the session of the Indian National Congress was held in September 1920.
B. The place where Mahatma Gandhi led the Peasant Movement against Indigo Cultivation.

Hint:

Remember these important map locations:

• Calcutta (Kolkata) -- Congress Session (September 1920), approval of the Non-Cooperation Movement.

• Champaran (Bihar) -- Gandhi's first Satyagraha against Indigo planters (1917).
Easy memory trick: \[ \boxed{\text{Calcutta} \Rightarrow \text{Non-Cooperation (1920)}} \] \[ \boxed{\text{Champaran} \Rightarrow \text{Indigo Satyagraha (1917)}} \]

Answer 1

Step 1: Work out place A.
The Congress session of September 1920, where Gandhi's Non-Cooperation proposal was accepted, was held at Calcutta, so A is Calcutta.
Step 2: Work out place B.
Gandhi's peasant movement against forced indigo cultivation, the Tinkathia system, was fought in Champaran in Bihar in 1917, so B is Champaran.
Step 3: Note why these places matter.
Calcutta 1920 marked the start of a truly mass movement, while Champaran was Gandhi's first successful satyagraha in India and established his standing as a national leader.
Hence, A is Calcutta and B is Champaran.
