Question

Madhulata was sitting at home, feeling depressed. It was the year 1930, and Mahatma Gandhi was trying to free India from British rule through the Civil Disobedience Movement.  He had a group of about 70 satyagrahis who were going to participate in the Dandi March. The march would begin from Sabarmati Ashram to the coastal village of Dandi, 390 kilometers away in Gujarat. Madhulata wanted to take part too, but her husband told her to stay away from such a dangerous activity. She sat in her room alone and wrote her letter. Hers was just one among hundreds of letters to reach Sarojini Naidu, Mahatma Gandhi’s closest friend, a nationalist leader and a poet. Madhulata was surprised to receive a reply. “Join the march. Hundreds of women will be a part of this,” it said. She paid no attention to her husband and stepped out of her home to join the march despite his warnings. The British had declared that salt-making would not be allowed. The breaking of this law was a symbol of the open defiance of women in British India as it was the most commonly used item in the kitchen. It was the first time in her life that Madhulata felt proud about something. She marched to Dandi and watched as Mahatma Gandhi picked up a fistful of salt and broke the unfair salt law. QUESTIONS: A. Write any 2 points that tell you this is an historical fiction. B. What is the setting of the story? C. Write a brief summary of the historical story and the characters mentioned in it. D. What would you have done if you were Madhulata?​
