no answer to a mass movement that was non-violent and had massive popular support. In practice the colonial authorities constantly vacillated between the two choices, usually plumbing in the end for suppression. By taking resource to suppression of a non-violent movement, they had to suffer constant erosion of hegemony by exposing the basic underpinning of colonial rule in force and coercion. Consequently, the hegemony of colonial rule or its moral basis was destroyed bit by bit.

(3) अहिंसक चळवळ दडपून टाकल्याने वसाहतवादी राजवटीच्या वर्चस्वाला धक्का पोहोचतो. (4) लोकवाद व नैतिकता हाच वसाहतवादी राजवटीचा खरा आधार असल्याचे उघडकीस येते. Identify the incorrect statement.

Colonial rule is actually based on coercion, exploitation, and institutional dominance, not on populism and morality. Therefore, statement 4 claiming populism and morality as the true basis is incorrect.
