To provide you with a structured response, I'll create a hypothetical table based on actions taken by Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi and analyze their goals and outcomes. This table will encompass several key actions he undertook during his lifetime. Since I cannot access the Grolier article directly, the information will be generalized based on known historical context.
| Action | Goal of Action | Analysis of Success or Failure |
|----------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------|
| Non-Cooperation Movement (1920) | To undermine British rule and promote Indian self-rule | Partially successful; galvanized nationalistic sentiments but faced internal divisions. |
| Salt March (1930) | To protest against British salt taxes; raise awareness | Highly successful; gained international attention and showcased his philosophy of nonviolent resistance. |
| Quit India Movement (1942) | To demand an end to British rule in India | Mixed success; while it unified many Indians, it led to severe repression by the British. |
| Promotion of Khadi and Swadeshi | To encourage self-reliance and economic independence | Successful; bolstered local economies and fostered a sense of unity among Indians. |
| Negotiations with British (1942-47) | To secure independence through dialogue | Ultimately successful; led to India’s independence in 1947, though tensions increased between communities. |
This table summarizes Gandhi's actions, their intended goals, and an analysis of their success or failure, in the context of his broader efforts to achieve Indian independence through nonviolent means. If you have specific elements from the Grolier article you would like to discuss or include, feel free to share!
