⚡Explain✌
Answers
★ Limitations of the Civil Disobedience Movement.
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.
Answer:
The limits of Civil Disobedience Movement were:
★ The Congress ignored the dalits for fear of offending the sanatanis, the conservative high-caste Hindus. Also, Mahatma Gandhi called the untouchables the children of God.
★ Dr B.R. Ambedkar, who organised the dalits into the Depressed Classes Association in 1930, clashed with Mahatma Gandhi at the second Round Table Conference by demanding separate electorates for dalits.
★ This made the dalit apprehensive regarding the Congress led national movement.
★ Decline of the Non-Cooperation-Khilafat movement, made a large section of Muslim feel alienated from the Congress. Thus, the response of Muslim political organisations in India was lukewarm.
★ However, Muhammad Jinnah, one of the leaders of the Muslim League, was willing to give up the demand for separate electorates, if Muslims were assured reserved seats in the Central Assembly and representation in proportion to population in the Muslim-dominated provinces (Bengal and Punjab).
★ Hence, the start of Civil Disobedience Movement created an atmosphere of suspicion and distrust between communities.
