Statement I : The Russian Revolution of 1917 inspired the Indian Working Class Movement. Statement II : The Non-Cooperation Movement (1921 -22) saw the involvement of the Indian Working Class.

Statement I is true as the success of the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917 significantly impacted Indian labor, spreading ideas of class consciousness and enlightenment [1]. It demonstrated that a worker-led revolution could successfully overthrow oppressive systems, inspiring Indian revolutionaries to turn toward scientific socialism. Statement II is also true; the Non-Cooperation Movement (1921-22) saw a resurgence of working-class activity, with workers establishing themselves as a front-ranking detachment of the national movement. However, while both events occurred in the same era and shared a spirit of mass mobilization, the Russian Revolution was an external ideological catalyst for class consciousness, whereas the Non-Cooperation Movement was a domestic political struggle led by Gandhi. The involvement of the working class in the Non-Cooperation Movement was primarily a response to domestic grievances and nationalist calls rather than being directly caused by the 1917 revolution, making Statement II an insufficient explanation for Statement I.
