Answer 2

Answer:

A wave of enthusiasm swept the country during the Salt Satyagraha. Salt laws were broken at many places and even women took part in the Civil Disobedience Movement. In Delhi alone,1600 women were imprisoned. This movement was not confined to the Salt Satyagraha alone. Foreign-cloth shops and liquor shops were picketed and were burned. Hand spinning was taken up as a movement. British schools, colleges and services were boycotted. The people joined in large number in this movement. The combined struggles of the Indian people bore fruit when the Government of India Act of 1935 prescribed provincial autonomy and the government announced elections to the provincial legislatures in 1937. Thus it was successful in it's objectives.
