Question

Write a short note on civil disobedience movement​

Answer 1

The Civil Disobedience Movement played a significant role and spread the message of full and complete independence of India. People all over took part in it ---- including women and students. Gandhi along with Vallabhbhai Patel were arrested. Moreover the government ----

1. Took forcible possession of the Congress office.
2. Lathi charges were common to disperse the crowds.
3. Whipping became a common punishment.
4. Freedom of press was curtailed.
5. Nationalist literature ---- poems, stories and novels were banned in a large scale.

Yet, the movement continued to linger on. Gandhi was still in jail when the 'Communal Award' was announced in August 1932, by British PM Ramsay MacDonald. The award declared the depressed classes also to be minorities and thus separated them from the rest of Hindus. Gandhi took 'fast unto death' in its protest. Feelings of frustration set in people and political enthusiasm became less and less. Gandhi still succeeded in amending the Communal Award in accordance with the Poona Pact (1932) by which the depressed classes were to have joint electorates with other Hindus.

Eventually, the Civil Disobedience Movement was suspended in May 1933 and completely withdrawn in May 1934.
