Answer
(I) is true but (II) is false
Explanation — Statement (I) tells us that Gandhi did lead a non-violent civil disobedience movement in South Africa (1893–1914), whereas Statement (II) is incorrect as Gandhi did not form the "Indian Congress." He founded the Natal Indian Congress (NIC) in 1894 in South Africa — not the "Indian Congress".
