What was considered as a symbol of human society that would NOT glorify machines and technology during the Indian National Movement?

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (b) Charkha.
· The Charkha (spinning wheel) was considered a symbol of human society that would not glorify machines and technology during the Indian National Movement.
· It was popularized by Mahatma Gandhi as a symbol of self-reliance, simplicity, and non-industrial, rural-based economy.
· The use of Charkha represented the Swadeshi movement, encouraging people to spin their own cloth (khadi) and boycott British-made goods, thereby promoting self-sufficiency and rejecting the industrialization represented by British textiles.
Information Booster:
· Spinning Jenny: A multi-spindle spinning frame used in textile manufacturing. It was a symbol of the Industrial Revolution and mechanization, not aligned with the values of the Indian National Movement.
· Handloom: Although handlooms were supported as part of the Swadeshi movement, the Charkha held greater symbolic value as a representation of self-reliance and anti-industrialism.
· Potter's Wheel: Used traditionally in Indian pottery but did not hold the same symbolic significance as the Charkha during the freedom movement.
