Hey mate here is ur answer...
When I first read this question I thought oh I know … it must have been called off because during his march to the sea, which was a demonstration of peaceful opposition to the Queen’s rule, the “movement” gained world wide attention and people began to violently demand India’s independence. And since Gandhi would only lead nonviolent protests, this must have been why it was called off.
But then (insert creepy drum roll here) I questioned my answer; and I questioned the question being asked.
Two reasons. First, Gandhi lead by example and was considered to be an inspirational leader of peaceful disagreement for millions of people worldwide. Did he ever officially declare a “movement” to begin with? If so, when did the “movement” officially begin - during his time in South Africa or after he returned home to India?
The second reason, is that Gandhi practiced acts of civil disobedience and nonviolent protest up until his death. Even after India’s independence, Gandhi continued to peacefully protest about the violence between Hindus and Muslims. And he also engaged in nonviolent protest against India’s oppressive caste system; in which people of the lowest class experienced inescapable oppression and discrimination.
At least these two issues (if not more) were peacefully protested by Gandhi up until the day of his assassination. Did he ever truly call off a “movement” or did he ever really end the practice of civil disobedience?
Perhaps someone knows of a good, reliable history book that can substantiate Gandhi’s declaration of leading and ending an official civil disobedience movement?
