why did Mahatma Gandhi relaunched the Civil Disobedience movement with great apprehension. Explain in 5 points
Answers
Answer Below
1. Mahatma Gandhi decided to call off the Civil Disobedience Movement as it began to turn violent in many places such as Peshawar and Sholapur. The brutal policy with which the British government responded was equally responsible for Gandhiji's call.
2. The failure of negotiations at the Round Table Conference in London further added to the bitterness of the situation as Gandhiji came back disappointed.
3. As Gandhiji returned to India, he discovered a new cycle of repression. The new policies of the British government were a major force that led him to relaunch the movement.
4. Gandhiji discovered that major leaders such as Jawaharlal Nehru and Ghaffar Khan were put in jail.
5. The policies of the government further declared the congress illegal and imposed restrictions to prevent meetings, demonstrations, and boycotts. The national situation eventually forced Gandhiji to launch the movement again but with great apprehension.
