Detailed Solution

Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
The council elections were postponed in many provinces outside of Madras, where the Justice Party, a non-Brahmin party, felt that joining the council was one way to gain some power, which only a Brahmin could ever achieve. Both events favoured a non-partisan organisation led by Mahatma Gandhi during the Indian liberation struggle. The election of councillors was misguided in many provinces as a signal of protest against British rule. They did not strike in Madras because non-Brahman groups wanted to rule. In many places, merchants and tradespeople refused to trade in foreign goods and stopped selling abroad. They all turned into swaddling clothes. Therefore, both of these statements are true, but the reason does not explain the reason for the verification.
