Q. The Civil Disobedience movement followed the
(a) Declaration of Home Rule by Annie Besant
(b) Partition of Bengal
(c) Dandi March
(d) declaration of Poorna Swaraj by the Congress
Ans: (d) declaration of Poorna Swaraj by the Congress
Explanation: The Civil Disobedience movement followed the (d) declaration of Poorna Swaraj by the Congress.
The Civil Disobedience movement, also known as the Salt Satyagraha, was a major campaign led by Mahatma Gandhi and the Indian National Congress in 1930. It was launched as a protest against the oppressive policies of the British colonial government and aimed to attain complete independence or Poorna Swaraj for India.
On December 31, 1929, during the Lahore session of the Indian National Congress, a resolution was passed declaring the goal of attaining Poorna Swaraj or complete independence for India. This declaration marked a significant shift in the Congress’s approach, emphasizing the demand for full independence rather than gradual reforms.
Following the declaration of Poorna Swaraj, Mahatma Gandhi initiated the Civil Disobedience movement with the iconic Dandi March in 1930. The movement involved acts of nonviolent civil disobedience, including the defiance of salt laws by producing salt from seawater, to challenge British rule and demand independence.
Therefore, the Civil Disobedience movement was directly inspired by the declaration of Poorna Swaraj by the Congress as a response to the persistent struggle for Indian independence.
