Q. Which among the following was the aim of the “Red Shirts” movement?
Answer: To throw out Britishers from India
Notes: Red Shirt movement or Khudai Khitmatgar was started by Abdul Ghaffar Khan of the North-West Frontier Province of India in 1930. His followers were pledged to nonviolence, and they derived their popular title from the red colour of their shirts.
The Khudai Khidmatgar was founded on a belief in the power of Gandhi’s notion of Satyagraha. The volunteers of Khudai Khidmatgar movement were also known as “Surkho Posh” or “Red shirts”. It was initially a social reform organization focusing on education and the elimination of blood feuds from Afghan society but turned more political later. The main aim was to throw Britishers out of India.
