What are the five features of civil disobedience movement? |
| Answer» \tThe Civil Disobedience Movement was started under the leadership of M.K. Gandhi in 1930. The main idea behind it was to defy and break the laws made by the British. It began with the salt March.\tGandhi started his famous Salt March with 78 of his trusted volunteers from his ashram at sabarmati to the coastal town of Dandi, over 240 miles away.\tOn arrival at dandi on 6th April gandhi ceremonially manufactures a handful of salt by boiling sea water symbolising defiance of British laws.\tPeasants refused \'to pay revenue\' apart from boycott of foreign cloth and picketing of liquor shops and chaukidari taxes. In many places forest people violated forest laws.\tFor the first time women participated in a big way in protest marches, manufacturing salt, picketing shops. | |
