Answer 1

Answer:

answer below

Explanation:

Gandhi says that for India to achieve self-governance, the Indian people must take back the country. The British Empire will not just hand it over to India on its own. Gandhi says that self-governance is possible only when farmers are given their due. With over 75 percent of the population depending on agriculture for its livelihood, it is impossible to create a balanced society if the farmers do not receive their fair share. According to Gandhi, only farmers, and not doctors or wealthy landlords, have the power to salvage India. He goes on to discuss the role of anarchists in India’s current situation. In this excerpt, Gandhi shows the complex political and social situation in India. He also discusses how these diverse groups must ultimately forge together to win the nation’s independence.
