Non-fulfillment of demands made by Gandhiji on behalf of all the members of the Congress led to the launching of the Civil Disobedience Movement in 1930.
Gandhiji’s ‘Dandi March’ marked the beginning of the Civil Disobedience Movement. Gandhiji started his march with 78 volunteers from his ashram at Sabarmati to the Gujarat coastal town of Dandi. On 6th April, Gandhiji reached Dandi and ceremonially violated the law, manufacturing salt by boiling sea water.
Features of Civil Disobedience Movement:
  1. People were now asked not only to refuse cooperation with the British but also to break colonial laws.
  2. Foreign cloth was boycotted and people were asked to picket liquor shops.
  3. Peasants were asked not to pay revenue and chaukidari taxes.
  4. Students, lawyers and village officials were asked not to attend English medium schools, colleges, courts and offices.
