About Pandita Ramabai:

In anaddress to Lord Ripon’s Education Commission,she said, “In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred the educated men of this country are opposed to female education and the proper position of women. If they observe the slightest fault, they magnify the grain of mustard-seed into a mountain, and try to ruin the character of a woman.” This led Lord Dufferin to start the Women’s Medical Movement.

TheCountess of Dufferin Fundis also known as “The National Association for Supplying Medical Aid to the Women of India” and the “Lady Dufferin Fund.” This Fund marked one of the first diplomatic pushes to improve global health in the world, and the introduction of western medicine for women in India

Also, if somewhat helps, 1942 is also called as leaderless movement.

@ArchAngel96 TBVH, both A and B is wrong. Firstly, Unlike, in previous movements where there were far & few violence perpetuated by masses, NCM(Chauri chora) but in QIM, there were spree of violence all over India. People were throng to the street and were ready to go to any extant.
Secondly, unlike previous movements, where it was clear cut instructions given by top leadership (MG, JLN) and they condemned any violent incidents if happened in the course of movements but this time around Gandhi himself tacitly legitimise the violence by saying "Do and Die" but not remain alive to see.....(kuch aisa hi bola tha) JLN also said something that we are not putting any kind of restrictions and you are free to take your actions. They also not condemned violent incidents.
So, I don't able to comprehend why UPSC think it was a non violent movement.
Second statement self explanatory but one can raise doubt here if upsc can do it with first.
After all Gandhi was declared to lead the movement so why I shouldn't take second statement correct. Agar upsc nahi maan sakti to him kyon mane.
But again UPSC is a dictatorial body whose command we have to follow.
