Question

What effects of Cunningham Circular was seen in spreading Civil Disobedience Movement in Assam.

Answer 1

Answer:

Cunningham Circular played a very important role in shaping the freedom struggle in Assam. While the entire country was getting ready for the start of the Civil Disobedience Movement in 1930, students in Assam played a key role in the freedom struggle.

To stem the students' participation in the Civil Disobedience Movement, the 'Cunning Circular' was implemented in 1930 by the British. This ruling forbade students from participating in political activities and so, evoked strong response.

Students quit schools in protest and many educational institutions like Kamrup Academy of Guwahati and Sibsagar Vidyapeeth were established.
