Civil Disobedience Movement

The document summarizes the Civil Disobedience Movement in India. [1] It was led by Mahatma Gandhi starting in 1930 to protest British rule after the failure of the Non-Cooperation Movement. [2] Key events included the Dandi March where Gandhi made salt in violation of British laws, and the Gandhi-Irwin Pact where Gandhi agreed to suspend protests in exchange for releasing political prisoners.
