Answer 1

The Civil Disobedience Movement was one of the most significant movements launched by Mahatma Gandhi in the course of India’s freedom struggle. 

CAUSES OF CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE MOVEMENT

There were three main causes of the civil disobedience movement:

Formation of the Simon Commision

Demand for Dominion Status

Protests against the arrest of social revolutionaries

DANDI MARCH

Mahatma Gandhi was preparing for a mass movement on the lines of the Civil Disobedience Movement for a long time. He was looking for a symbol around so he hit upon the idea of salt as a tax on salt, in his opinion, was the most oppressive form of tax which humankind could devise since salt was a basic necessity of human existence, just like air and water.


With Gandhi’s symbolic breaking of salt laws at Dandi, defiance of salt laws started all over the country.

It had a significant impact for the following reasons:

The number of participants was much more in the Civil Disobedience Movement as compared to the Non cooperation Movement

Foreign import of cloth and cigarettes fell by half. Government income from land revenue and liquor excise also increased.

The movement saw the participation of poor and illiterate people on a large scale.

Women and students participated in the movement on a large scale and it was a liberating experience for Indian women who entered the public space in such large numbers for the first time.

Muslims participated actively in the North-West Frontier Province and Bengal.
