Question map
Who among the following did not belong to the group of‘No-Changers’ ?
Explanation
Following the suspension of the Non-Cooperation Movement in 1922, the Indian National Congress split into two factions: the 'Pro-Changers' and the 'No-Changers'. The 'Pro-Changers', led by C.R. Das, Motilal Nehru, and Vithalbhai Patel, advocated for ending the boycott of legislative councils to wreck the reforms from within. Conversely, the 'No-Changers' remained committed to Gandhi's original program of boycott and constructive work. This group included prominent leaders such as C. Rajagopalachari, M.A. Ansari, and Kasturi Ranga Iyengar. While Vithalbhai Patel was a staunch advocate for council entry and eventually became the first Indian Speaker of the Central Legislative Assembly, the others listed were firm 'No-Changers' who opposed entering the councils. Therefore, Vithalbhai Patel is the one who did not belong to the 'No-Changers' group.
