Question

why did mahatma gandhi decide to call of disobedience movement- 5 marks ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:S the Civil Disobedience Movement spread in different parts of the country, foreign cloth was boycotted and liquor shops were picketed. The colonial government began arresting the Congress leaders one by one.

This led to violent clashes in many places.

1. When Abdul Ghaffar Khan was arrested in April 1930, angry crowds demonstrated in street of Peshawar facing armoured cars and police firing. Many were killed.
2. A month after, when Gandhi himself was arrested, industrial workers in Sholapur attacked police posts, municipal buildings, law courts and railway stations.
3. A frightened government responded with a policy of brutal repression.
4. Women and children were beaten and about 1,00,000 people were arrested.
5. In such a situation, Mahatma Gandhi decided to call off the Civil Disobedience Movement in March 1931.
