Explanation
Analyzing components of the Non-Cooperation Programme:
I. Boycott of law-courts and foreign cloth: Correct. These were central elements of the Non-Cooperation Movement launched by Gandhi in 1920, aimed at withdrawing cooperation from British institutions.
II. Observance of strict non-violence: Correct. Non-violence (ahimsa) was a fundamental principle of the movement, and Gandhi repeatedly emphasized that the success of non-cooperation depended on maintaining non-violent methods.
III. Retention of titles and honours without using them in public: Incorrect. The programme actually called for the surrender and renunciation of titles and honours granted by the British government, not their retention.
IV. Establishment of Panchayats for settling disputes: Correct. Setting up arbitration courts and panchayats was part of creating alternative institutions to replace British legal systems during the boycott of law courts.
