The correct answer is 1 and 2 only.
Key Points
- Gandhiji's Struggle - Truce-Struggle (S-T-S) strategy has two types of phases in the national movement.
- A phase of non-mass movement or war of position‘ inevitably follows a phase of extra-legal mass struggle or 'war of movement‘ in Gramscian terms. Gandhiji's national movement does not take the form of one continuous mass struggle till freedom was won. Hence statement 1 and statement 2 is correct.
- The nationalist strategy, under Gandhiji‘s leadership, was based on the assumptions that by its very nature a mass movement could not be carried on or sustained indefinitely or for a prolonged period, that a mass movement must ebb sooner or later, those mass movements had to be short-lived, and that period of rest and consolidation, of 'breathing time', must intervene so that the movement could consolidate, recuperate and gather strength for the next round of struggle. Hence, Statement 3 is Wrong.
