Mahatma Gandhi was against ______ of India.

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (B) Rapid industrialization

1. Gandhi's vision for India was that of a self-sufficient rural economy, where people relied on local industries and self-reliance rather than dependency on large-scale factories.

2. Gandhi believed that rapid industrialization would lead to exploitation of workers, pollution, and the concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a few.

3. He advocated for a village-based economy that would provide opportunities for employment and reduce poverty, particularly in rural areas.

4. Gandhi opposed large-scale industries because they could lead to environmental degradation and adversely affect traditional occupations, such as agriculture and handicrafts.

5. His view on industrialization was part of his broader critique of Western capitalism and the British colonial exploitation of Indian resources.

• Slow industrialization : Gandhi was not against slow industrialization, but he was critical of rapid, large-scale industrialization that he felt was exploitative and harmful to the people and environment.

• British method of industrialization : Gandhi opposed the British method of industrialization in India, which he saw as focused on exploitation and extracting resources from the country. However, his primary opposition was to rapid industrialization itself.

• American method of industrialization : Gandhi did not specifically target the American method of industrialization, although his opposition to industrialization in general would include such methods.
