Movement Boosting Cotton Production
The Swadeshi Movement significantly boosted cotton production in pre-independent India.
Reasoning
- Swadeshi Movement (1905-1908): This movement explicitly encouraged the use and production of indigenous goods, including textiles. Boycotting British cloth directly stimulated local cotton mills and handloom weavers, leading to increased demand and production of raw cotton and finished cotton goods.
- Khilafat Movement (1919-1924): This movement was primarily focused on the political issue of the Caliphate in Turkey and had little direct impact on cotton production.
- Quit India Movement (1942): While a major anti-British movement, its focus was on demanding immediate British withdrawal, not specifically on promoting cotton production.
- Non-Cooperation Movement (1920-1922): This movement aimed at withdrawing Indian support from British administration but did not specifically target the enhancement of cotton production as its primary economic goal, though promoting Swadeshi was a component.
Therefore, the Swadeshi Movement is the correct answer due to its direct emphasis on promoting domestic industries like cotton textiles.
