In his famous book Hind Swaraj (1909) Mahatma Gandhi declared that British rule was established in India with the cooperation of Indians, and had survived only because of this cooperation. If Indians refused to co-operate, British rule in India would collapse with in a year, and Swaraj would come. How could non cooperation become a movement? Gandhiji proposed that the Movement unfold in stages. It should begin with the surrender of titles that the government awarded, and a boycott of civil services, army, police, courts and legislative council's, schools, and foreign goods. Then, in case the government used repression, full civil disobedience campaign would be launched. Through the summer of 1920 Mahatma Gandhi and Shaukat Ali tour extensively, mobilising popular support for the movement. Many within the Congress were, however, concerned about the proposals. They were reluctant to boycott The council election scheduled for November 1920, and fear that the movement might lead to popular violence. in the months between September and December there was an intense tussle within the Congress. For a while there are simply no meeting point between the supporters and opponents of the movement. Finally, at the congress session at nagpur in December 1920, a compromise was worked out and the non cooperation programme was adopted.

24. Read the source and answer the following questions.
the denudation of the soil cover and subsequent washing down is described as soil erosion. The processes of soil formation and erosion, go on simultaneously and generally there is balance between the two. Sometimes, this balance is disturbed due to human activities like deforestation, overgrazing, construction and mining etc. While natural forces like wind, glacier and water lead to soil erosion, the running water cuts through the clayey soils and makes deep channel as gullies. The land becomes unfit for cultivation and is known as bad land. In the Chambal basin such lands are called ravines. Sometimes water flows as a sheet over large areas down a slope. In such cases the top soil is washed away. This is known as sheet erosion. Wind blows loose soil of flat or sloping land known as wind erosion. soil erosion is also caused due to defective methods of farming. Ploughing in a wrong way i.e. up and down the slope from channels for the quick flow of water leading to soil erosion. Ploughing along the contour lines can decelerate the flow of water down the slopes. This is called Contour Ploughing. Steps can be cut out on the slopes making terraces. Terrace cultivation restricts erosion. Western and Central Himalayas have well developed terrace farming. Large field can be divided into strips. Strips of grass are left to grow between the crops.
This breaks up the force of wind. This method is known as strip cropping. planting line of trees to create shelter also works in a similar way. Rows of such trees are called shelterbelts. These shelterbelts have contributed significantly to the stabilization of sand dunes and in stabilizing the desert in Western India.
