What does a "non-cooperate and prepare for civil disobedience" mean in this speech? [closed]
Solution 1:
It means to not cooperate and prepare for civil disobedience, while referring to the Indian independence struggle.
The only unusual word is "non-cooperate". It isn't a real word. "Not cooperate" or "be uncooperative" would be better grammatically, although the meaning is clear. However in India the Noncooperation movement was (and still is) a well-known piece of Indian history, an attempt at civil disobedience aimed at inducing the British government to grant independence to India. The word is intended to be a reference to that movement, and to the Indian independence campaign which was ongoing at the time of the speech.
