Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

Statement I is true as the Russian Revolution of 1917 significantly inspired the Indian working class by introducing ideas of class consciousness, enlightenment, and the potential for worker solidarity to challenge established power structures [2]. The success of the Bolsheviks provided a model for organization and added momentum to the feeling of class consciousness among Indian laborers [2]. Statement II is also true; the Non-Cooperation Movement (1921-22) saw active involvement from the working class, with Gandhi's support for industrial labor demands influencing the movement. Workers in various sectors, including Ahmedabad and other industrial hubs, resorted to strikes and demonstrations during this period. However, Statement II is not the correct explanation for Statement I because the inspiration from the Russian Revolution was a global ideological shift, whereas the Non-Cooperation Movement was a specific nationalist political phase led by the Indian National Congress.
