Question

27.Examine the limitations of Civil Disobedience Movement due to which it could not become a mass movement.​

Answer 1

Answer:

1) For a long time, The Congress had ignored the Dalits. This was so because they were afraid of offending the Santanis. [High Caste Conservative Hindu's.]

2) Because of this ignorance, Dalit leaders began organizing themselves. Dr B.R Ambedkar and many other Dalits demanded reserved seats in educational institutions and a separate electorate that would choose Dalit members for legislative councils.

3) From the mid-1920s, the Congress came to be more visibly associated with the openly Hindu Religious nationalist groups like the Hindu Mahasabha.

4) After the Decline of the Non-Cooperation Khilafat movement, a large section of the Muslims felt alienated from the Congress.

5) As relations between the Hindu's and Muslims worsened, each community organized religious processions with militant fervour. This provoked Hindu-Muslim communal clashes and riots in various cities.

Because of discontent among various religious and working groups, The Civil Disobidience movement didnt succeed and created an atmosphere of distrust between different communities.
