General knowledge

The Swadeshi and Boycott Movement (1905) began after the partition of Bengal; the Non-Cooperation Movement (1920) included the boycott of foreign cloth, schools and courts; the Simon Commission (1928) was boycotted because it had no Indian member ('Simon, go back').

यह बहुत पूछा जाता है: स्वदेशी और बहिष्कार आंदोलन (1905) बंगाल विभाजन के बाद शुरू हुआ; असहयोग आंदोलन (1920) में विदेशी कपड़ों, स्कूलों और अदालतों का बहिष्कार शामिल था; Simon Commission (1928) का बहिष्कार हुआ क्योंकि उसमें कोई भारतीय सदस्य नहीं था ('Simon, go back')।
