can you relate chipko movement to Gandhiji’s freedom struggle?
Answers
Answer:
A major impact of the Chipko movement was that it prompted the Union government to amend the Indian Forest Act, 1927, and introduced the Forest Conservation Act 1980, which says forest land cannot be used for non-forest purpose
Explanation:
Mahatma Gandhi’s visits to Mussoorie in 1929 and 1946 were not only for personal reasons such as for regaining health but also for social and political reasons. His visits brought the hill region into the mainstream of the freedom struggle of the country.
Several present day movements, namely Chipko Andolan in the Chamoli hills, were inspired by Gandhiji’s visits. Gandhiji’s visits to Mussoorie in 1929 and later in 1946 were significant enough to change the course of the history of the hill region, which was part of Uttar Pradesh that had always played an important role in the India political and cultural history.
It was also the period when Gandhiji took the onus of spreading the khadi movement around the country and the hill town of Mussoorie joined in by contributing towards strengthening the movement. Gandhiji after collecting funds for the Lal Lajpat Rai Memorial Uttar Pradesh National Service and khadi at Haridwar on October 15, 1929, headed towards Mussoorie. On October 16, 1929, he addressed a district political conference of the Congress at Dehradun under the leadership of Babu Purshotam Das Tandon.
