• On 12 March 1930 Gandhi left the Sabarmati Ashram at
Ahmadabad on foot with 78 other members of the
Ashram for Dandi. After reaching Dandi, Gandhi broke the
salt law. It was considered illegal to make salt as it was
solely a government monopoly. This was the start of the
CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE MOVEMENT.
• The civil disobedience movement is credited for the
setting of stage for freedom in India in many ways. It was
important because it was a movement that spread to
urban areas and saw the participation of women and folks
from lower castes.
Objective
On April 8, 1929, two members of the Hindustan Socialist Republican Army (HSRA), Bhagat
Singh and Batukeshwar Dutt, were imprisoned for throwing off bombs that were
harmless within the Central Legislative Assembly.
Members of the HSRA went on a prolonged hunger strike in prison to demand better
treatment for political prisoners.
The death of one of them, Jatin Das, on the strike's 64th day provoked some of the biggest
protests in the nation
The British government's lack of sincerity in granting Dominion Status, however, soon
became apparent to nationalist leaders.
Jawaharlal Nehru presided over an emergency meeting of the INC in Lahore in December
1929, during which the INC declared "Purna Swaraj"—complete independence—as the
Congress's objective.
Furthermore, the INC gave Mahatma Gandhi permission to start his extensive campaign of
civil disobedience whenever and wherever he pleased.
Direct effects of the movement
• Following Gandhi's ceremony in Dandi, the country began to defy the salt rules. There
were large protests in Madras, Calcutta, and Karachi as a reaction to Nehru's
imprisonment in April 1930 for violating the salt rule. Gandhi was arrested on May 4,
1930, following his announcement that he would lead an attack on the Dharasana Salt
Works on India's west coast. Following Gandhi's imprisonment, there were large
demonstrations in Bombay, Delhi, Calcutta, and Sholapur, where the reaction was the
strongest. People of all age were involved in the Civil Disobedience Movement,
including students, women, indigenous people, business owners and small traders, as
well as workers and peasants. Several provinces also ignored their salt prohibitions,
with varying degrees of success.
• Following in Gandhi's path, C. Rajgopalchari led a similar march from Trichinopoly to
Vedaranyam in Tamil Nadu. At the same time, Sarojini Naidu, an influential Congress
leader, headed the movement in Darasana, Gujarat. The police launched a lathi
charge, severely injuring over 300 satyagrahis. As a consequence, there were mass
demonstrations, hartals, a refusal to support foreign goods, and, later, a refusal to pay
taxes. This movement drew a million people, many of whom were women.
impacts of cdm
• The impact of the civil disobedience movement reverberated far and wide. It created distrust
towards the British government and laid the foundation for the freedom struggle, and
popularised the new method of propaganda like the Prabhat, pheris, pamphlets, etc. Following
the defiance of forest law in Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Central province and the refusal to
pay the rural ‘Chaukidari tax’ in Eastern India, the government ended the oppressive salt tax.
• More Participants and Prisoners than the Non cooperation movement: The Civil Disobedience
Movement had a much larger number of participants than the Non-Cooperation Movement.
More than three times as many Satyagrahis were imprisoned.
• Contrary to the Non-Cooperation Movement, the Civil Disobedience Movement had a far
higher participation rate and a higher number of prisoners. There were more than three times
as many Satyagrahis behind bars.
• Ban and Reduction on Foreign Imports and Land Revenues: The amount of clothing and
cigarettes imported from abroad was reduced by half. Additionally, the government received
less money from excise taxes on alcohol and land.
• participation of Poor and illiterate people were seen in this movement in great numbers, and
many of them were not afraid to go to jail for a cause.
• Involvement of Women and Students:Women and students
joined in the movement in great numbers, which was a liberating
experience for Indian women who were doing so in such big
numbers for the first time in public.
• Muslim participation: Muslims took a significant role in Bengal
and the North-West Frontier Province. Muslim weavers were
successfully mobilized in Bihar, Delhi, and Lucknow.
• Negotiation with Mahatma Gandhi for the First Time: Most
importantly, as previously stated, it was the first time that the
government negotiated with Mahatma Gandhi and Congress on
an equal footing, which had not occurred previously in the
freedom struggle.
The reaction of the British government
• The warring factions within the Congress united under the aegis
of the Civil Disobedience Movement, led by Mahatma Gandhi
