Analyze the ideological differences and similarities between the revolutionary movement(1920-1930s) and the Gandhian non-violent struggle. How did these two ideologies influence each other?

Revolutionary movement (1930-1930s) were seen in the incidents such as Kakori train robbery, Maniaptolla garden conspiracy, bombing of the legislative assembly and killing of several prominent figures such as Col. Saunders.

There were in contrast to the Gandhian non-violent struggle.

Gandhian philosophy:

Non-violence at its core

Peaceful protest

Non-cooperation with the british

Self-generation of political consciousness among people

Gandhi followed the idea of petition → protest → petition

However revolutionary movement was ideologically different because of the following:-

Believed in violent means to attain objective of achieving freedom

Believed in the individual action rather than the masses

British rule as evil and should be acted by force only

Despite different approaches, there were similarities in the ideologies too:-

Courage of every Indian as the force behind struggle

British rule was considered evil by both

Swaraj as the end goal

No harm to innocents

Making the 'ideal' head though means were different

Principles of secularism and communal harmony
