Hi
■Civil disobedience is the active, professed refusal to obey certain laws, demands, and commands of a government, or of an occupying international power. Civil disobedienceis a symbolic or ritualistic violation of the law, rather than a rejection of the system as a whole.
On March 12, 1930, Indian independence leader Mohandas Gandhi begins a defiant march to the sea in protest of the British monopoly on salt, his boldest act of civil disobedience yet against British rule in India.
The following were the main features of the Civil Disobedience movement: a) The people refused to obey unjust laws. Gandhi led the Dandi March and broke the unjust salt tax law as a challenge to the British Government. b) Foreign cloth was boycotted and liquor shops were picketed.
******************************************
■The Non-Cooperation Movement was a significant but short phase of the Indian independence movement from British rule. It was led by Mahatma Gandhi after the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre and lasted from 1920 to February 1922. It aimed to resist British rule in India through non-violent means, or "Ahimsa".
Noncooperation movement was an unsuccessful attempt in, to induce the British government of India to grant self-government, or swaraj, to India. It was one of Gandhi's first organized acts of large-scale civil disobedience (satyagraha).Gandhi had announced the launching of the Non Cooperation Movement in August 1920. The Indian National Congress met in September at Calcutta to pass the resolution of the Non Cooperation Movement.
Mahatma Gandhi declared that British rule was established in India with the cooperationof Indians and if they had refused to cooperate, British rule in India would have been collapsed within a year. Mahatma Gandhi felt that in case the government used suppression, a full civil disobedience campaign would be launched. So Ghandi thought of non cooperation.
