With which of the following movements is Aruna Asaf Ali associated?
- A.Non-Cooperation Movement
- B.Civil Disobedience Movement
- C.Individual Satyagraha
- D.Quit India Movement
Show answer
Correct answer: D. Quit India Movement
Explanation
The correct answer is D, the Quit India Movement. Aruna Asaf Ali hoisted the national flag at Gowalia Tank in Bombay on 9 August 1942, after the arrest of the senior leaders, and then went underground to direct the movement along with Jayaprakash Narayan and Ram Manohar Lohia, which earned her the name Heroine of the 1942 movement. Option A is wrong because the Non-Cooperation Movement of 1920 to 1922 was led by Gandhi with the Ali brothers and the Khilafat leaders, before she entered public life. Option B is wrong because the best remembered women of the Civil Disobedience Movement are Sarojini Naidu, who led the raid on the Dharasana salt works, and Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay. Option C is wrong because Individual Satyagraha of 1940 is remembered for Vinoba Bhave as the first satyagrahi and Jawaharlal Nehru as the second.
