Gandhi’s campaign in South Africa and India helped secure the 1917 abolition of the indentured-labour system, so statement 1 is true. At Lord Chelmsford’s War Conference (Delhi, April 1918) Gandhi explicitly supported the recruiting resolution, so statement 2 is false. After the mass salt-law violations of 1930, the Raj banned the Indian National Congress (formally proscribed in 1930-32), making statement 3 true.
