प्रश्न
'The settlement given to the sharecroppers was symbolic.' Justify why Gandhi thought so.
उत्तर
The payment provided to the sharecroppers was symbolic, according to Gandhi, who believed this because he wanted the British to part with more than just their money when he agreed to a settlement of only 25% compensation from them. He placed more value on ending the impasse than on the quantity of money. As a result, the settlement represented the wealth and status of the landlords.
