Question

What marked the beginning of civil disobedience movement?

Answer 1

BEGINNING OF CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE MOVEMENT-
MK Gandhi was urged by the Congress to render his much needed leadership to the Civil Disobedience Movement. On the historic day of 12th March 1930, Gandhi inaugurated The Civil Disobedience Movement by conducting the historic Dandi Salt March, where he broke the Salt Laws imposed by the British Government. Followed by an entourage of seventy nine ashramites, Gandhi embarked on his march from his Sabarmati Ashram to Dandi that is located on the shores of the Arabian Sea. On 6th April 1930, Gandhi with the accompaniment of seventy nine satyagrahis, violated the Salt Law by picking up a fistful of salt lying on the sea shore. They manually made salt on the shores of Dandi.  END OF NON CORPORATION MOVEMENT- many muslim were disenchanted about non cooperation movement also a rift arose between Khilafat and Non-cooperation  leaders on the issue of boycotting educational institutions and legislative  councils. Some Muslim leaders believed that such boycott would be suicidal for  Muslims. They were in favour of participating in the elections under the India  Act of 1919 that assured self-governing institutions in India.

The Britishers also tried to suppress the movement by introducing  Sections 108 and 144 of the Code of Criminal  Procedure at various centres of the agitation. Volunteers' Corps was declared  illegal and by December, over 30,000 people were arrested from all over India.  Among prominent leaders, only Gandhi remained out of jail.

on February 5, 1922, in the Chauri Chaura,  after violent clashes between the local police and the protesters in  which three protesters were killed by police firing, the police station was set on fire by the mob, killing 22 of the police occupants.
Gandhi felt that the revolt was veering off-course, and was  disappointed that the revolt had lost its non-violent nature. He did not  want the movement to degenerate into a contest of violence, with police  and angry mobs attacking each other back and forth, victimizing  civilians in between. Gandhi appealed to the Indian public for all  resistance to end, went on a fast lasting 3 weeks, and called off the  mass non-cooperation movement.
