Describe different types of movement groups.
A movement seeks to exert influence on the policies of the government. These movements can be of various types. Some movements are issue-specific movements that are concerned with only one issue. They work to achieve that single objective and have a very limited time frame. Some movements have more than one objective to deal with. They work to achieve the broader goal have a long time frame. Example: The Nepalese movement for democracy worked for the specific objective of regaining the democracy in the country. The Narmada Bachao Andolan started with the issue of people that would be displaced with the construction of the dam on Narmada River. It took a general view as it became a wider movement and questioned all such dams and the people that would be displaced because of it.
