Question

What were the limitations of civil disobedience movement by mahatma gandhi

Answer 1

Muslim political groups were lukewarm in their response to the Civil Disobedience Movement.

After the decline of the Non Cooperation -Khilafat movement started , there was a atmosphere of suspicion and distrust between communities.

Alienated from the Congress large sections of Muslims could not respond to the call for a united struggle.

They feared that the culture and identity of minorities would be submerged under the domination of Hindu majority.

Dalit participation was limited. They began organiging themselves, demanding reserved seats in educational institutions, and a separate electorate.

Dr. B.R Ambedkar, who organised the datits into the depressed Classes Assocition in 1930, clashed with mahatma Gandhi at the Second Round Table Conference by demanding separate electorates for dalits.
