What were the reasons for launching a Satyagraha by the villagers of Tehri-Gadhwal area?

Answer»

Oppressive forest laws compelled the people of Tehri-Gadhwal launch a non-cooperation movement called Satyagraha – a form of peaceful resistance to obtain justice. For many years the  forests of Tehri-Gadhwal were being degraded and large areas of rich forest resources were getting destroyed. There was clearly a contradiction between the village people’s basic needs, and the requirements of the state to earn money.
