Flow snapshot — how the answer moves
Intro routes
meaning (truth-force, refusal to cooperate with injustice) — Champaran / Kheda / Ahmedabad (local problem-solving) — Rowlatt (local method — all-India protest) — Non-Cooperation / Civil Disobedience / Quit India (mass nationalist form) — Salt Satyagraha (one simple issue unites rich-poor, village-city) — non-violence cut fear of repression — peasants / workers / women / students enter politics — disciplined anger blocked racial revenge — moral standing before the world — Bipan Chandra: struggle-truce-struggle / counter-hegemony
Body flow
M.N. Roy + Ambedkar — method stayed cautious on class conflict and radical social change
Counter-view
R1 gave nationalism a mass base + moral character — social transformation left unfinished R2 lasting worth = ethical self-discipline fused with practical mass mobilisation
