How are issue specific movements different from generic movements? (CBSE 2016)

Issue-specific movements are those movements that seek to achieve a single objective within a limited time period. Whereas the General (or generic) movements are those movements that seek to achieve a broad goal in the very long term.

NOTE –

i. Narmada Bachao Andolan is an example of a specific movement that started off with a specific issue of the people displaced by the creation of Sardar Sarovar Dam.

ii. The Women’s Movement is an example of a General movement that took place with a broad vision of bringing about a social change in a gradual period of time.
