BPSC – Combined Competitive Examination · પ્રશ્ન 121

The political strategy 'Struggle–Truce–Struggle' (S-T-S) came into prominence with the call for:

  1. Swadeshi Movement
  2. Quit India
  3. Boycott of the Simon Commission
  4. Khilafat issue
જવાબ બતાવો અને સમજૂતી

જવાબ: (D) Khilafat issue

સમજૂતી

Bipan Chandra's S-T-S describes alternating mass struggle and truce from Non-Cooperation (1920) onward. BPSC dropped this question from the final key; D is the best-supported answer.

  • (A) ખોટો

    Wrong: the Swadeshi Movement (1905) predates the Gandhian strategy.

  • (B) ખોટો

    Wrong: Quit India was the final phase, not where S-T-S began.

  • (C) ખોટો

    Wrong: not the starting point of the strategy.

  • (D) સાચો

    Correct: the Khilafat call launched Non-Cooperation, the first Gandhian mass struggle in the S-T-S pattern.
