Explanation
- A = Champaran: The textbook explicitly states Gandhiji travelled to Champaran in Bihar in 1917 to inspire peasants against the oppressive plantation system.
- B = Dandi: Though not directly in the given passages, Dandi (on the Gujarat coast) is the standard NCERT answer for where Gandhiji broke the Salt Law — a well-known fact from Chapter 2. Always write the specific place name, not just the state.
- On the actual map, locate and label both points precisely. Examiners award 1 mark per correct identification.
