Answers
Explanation:
ACCORDING TO ME,
Civil disobedience is the active, professed refusal of a citizen to obey certain laws, demands, orders or commands of a government or occupying international power. Civil disobedience is sometimes defined as having to be nonviolent to be called civil disobedience.
The movement began with Gandhi's march from Sabarmati to the coastal town of Dandi in Gujarat. On 6th April, Gandhi reached Dandi where he broke the Salt Law in defiance of the British, by making salt from sea water.
There were three main causes of the civil disobedience movement: Formation of the Simon Commision. Demand for Dominion Status. Protests against the arrest of social revolutionaries.
Civil Disobedience in different forms continued in different provinces. Special stress was laid on boycott of foreign good.
In eastern India, payment of chowkidari tax was refused. This no-tax campaign became very popular in Bihar.
In Bengal, J.N. Sengupta defied Government laws by reading openly the books banned by the government. Defiance of forest laws assumed a mass character in Maharashtra.
The movement had taken a fire hold in provinces of U.P., Orissa. Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Assam.
