Success or Failure of a Movement

The Ghadar movement did not succeed in its immediate objective of organising an armed revolt and driving out the British. Similarly, the non-cooperation movement (1920-22) and the Quit India movement (1942) could not succeed in immediately winning independence. Should we call these movements failures?

The success or failure of a political movement is not always to be measured in terms of its achievement of stated objectives. It should be measured in terms of whether there was a furthering of nationalist feelings, the creation of traditions of resistance, the emergence and trial of new methods of struggle, and the spread of forward-looking ideologies of secularism, democracy, and egalitarianism. In that case, these movements occupy a very important place in India's struggle for freedom.

🕸The Nationalist Movement (1905-1918)🕸👇👇👇👇

🕸️ The Prime Minister inaugurated the Kulasekarapattinam Spaceport in Tamil Nadu, the second spaceport after Satish Dhawan Space Centre.

🕸️At present, the ISRO has two launch pads at Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh.

🕸️The demand for additional launch pads has arisen as a result of the increase in the number of satellite launches from India, both for domestic and international customers. ISRO says that it had launched as many as 17 missions in 2018 alone.

🕸️it will serve the demands for SSLV. It features 35 facilities, including launch pads and rocket integration areas. The spaceport’s unique advantage is launching directly south over the Indian Ocean without requiring crossing landmasses thus saving fuel for small rocket launches compared to the existing site.

🕸️ When a satellite is launched into space from ISRO’s Sriharikota facility in Andhra Pradesh, the rocket first heads east, and then turn south. Since Sri Lanka is located to the south of Sriharikota, this diversion is made to avoid the neighbour country’s airspace. But the satellite launch from Kulasekaranpattinam spaceport doesn’t have to take this diversion and the rockets can now head straight in the southern direction. Also, Kulasekaranpattinam is closer to the equator than Sriharikota. Both these factors could contribute to saving fuel, Mr. Somanath explained.
