carefully and answer questions from 5 to 10: It should be remembered that the
nationalist movement in India, like all nationalist movements, was
essentially a bourgeois movement. It represented the natural historical stage
of development, and to consider it or to criticise it as a working-class movement
is wrong. Gandhi represented that movement and the Indian masses in relation
to that movement to a supreme degree, and he became the voice of Indian
people to that extent. The main contribution of Gandhi to India and the Indian
masses has been through the powerful movements which he launched through the
National Congress. Through nation-wide action he sought to mould the
millions, and largely succeeded in doing so, and changing them from a
demoralised, timid and hopeless mass, bullied and crushed by every dominant
interest, and incapable of resistance, into a people with self-respect and
self-reliance, resisting tyranny, and capable of united action and sacrifice
for a larger cause. Gandhi made people think of political
and economic issues and every village and every bazaar hummed with argument
and debate on the new ideas and hopes that filled the people. That was an
amazing psychological change. The time was ripe for it, of course, and
circumstances and world conditions worked for this change. But a great leader
is necessary to take advantage of circumstances and conditions. Gandhi was
that leader, and he released many of the bonds that imprisoned and disabled
our minds, and none of us who experienced it can ever forget that great
feeling of release and exhilaration that came over the Indian people. Gandhi has played a revolutionary
role in India of the greatest importance because he knew how to make the most
of the objective conditions and could reach the heart of the masses, while
groups with a more advanced ideology functioned largely in the air because
they did not fit in with those conditions and could therefore not evoke any
substantial response from the masses. It is perfectly true that Gandhi,
functioning in the nationalist plane, does not think in terms of the conflict
of classes, and tries to compose their differences. But the action he has
indulged and taught the people has inevitably raised mass consciousness
tremendously and made social issues vital. Gandhi and the Congress must be
judged by the policies they pursue and the action they indulge in. But behind
this, personality counts and colours those policies and activities. In the
case of very exceptional person like Gandhi the question of personality becomes
especially important in order to understand and appraise him. To us he has
represented the spirit and honour of India, the yearning of her sorrowing
millions to be rid of their innumerable burdens, and an insult to him by the
British Government or others has been an insult to India and her people. 5. Which one of the following is
