Question

Describe any three causes of 'Civil Disobedience Movement.'

Answer 1

Several key factors fueled the Civil Disobedience Movement.

1. The Simon Commission arrived in India in 1928. It was addressed with the slogan 'Go back, Simon'. All parties participated in the protest. In October 1929, Lord Irwin proposed a vague promise of 'Dominion Status' for India, but the timing was unclear. He also proposed a Round Table Conference to discuss the new Constitution. Demonstrations against the detention of social revolutionaries, etc.
2. The Indian National Congress' declaration of Puma Swaraj, or entire self-rule, on January 26, 1930, was a key prior to the Civil Disobedience Movement.
3. The British salt tax was a significant hardship for the Indian population, especially the impoverished. The British monopoly on salt manufacture and selling exemplified their exploitative economic policies.
4. The Indian populace's frustration and wrath were further exacerbated by the British government's harsh and repressive measures, such as the Rowlatt Act.
