Significance

10. Causes Lord Irwin
 In 1929, having a meeting with Ramsay Macdonald , the Prime Minister
of England, Lord Irwin returned to India and declared that the object of
the British Government was to grant India dominion status. But the
Prime Minister under pressure of the conservative leaders, failed to
keep his promise. When Gandhiji met Lord Irwin in December 1929, the
latter refused to make any commitment regarding dominion status.
 In utter despair Gandhiji said , ‘I have burnt my boat ’. The country
became prepared to fight for ‘Purna Swaraj’.
 The main cause of the Civil Disobedience movement was worldwide
economic depression during the period 1929-1930.
 The organizations of the works and the peasants gathered strength
under the leadership of the communists. All these events led Gandhiji
to feel the necessity of launching Civil Disobedience movement.

11. Salt-Satyagraha
 The Civil Disobedience movement started with Gandhiji’s historic
‘Dandi March’.
 Gandhiji walked 240 miles through villages of Gujarat.
 He reached Dandi on 6 April 1930.

handful of salt.

provinces. Special stress was laid on boycott of foreign good .

regarding openly the books banned by the government.
 The movement had taken a fire hold in provinces of U.P,
Orissa, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Assam.
 The Gandhi-Irwin Pact and the Second Round Table
Conference having failed, the movement was resumed with
new zeal.

13. Significance

freedom struggle.

 The Quit India Movement or the Indian August Movement, was a
movement launched at the Bombay session of the All-India Congress
Committee by Mahatma Gandhi on 8 August 1942, during World War 2,
demanding an end to British Rule of India.
 In terms of immediate objectives, Quit India failed because of heavy-
handed suppression, weak co-ordination and lack of a clear-cut
programme of action.
 In 1992 Reserve Bank of India issued a 1 Rupee commemorative coin to
mark the golden jubilee of the Quit India Movement.

15. World War II And Indian Involvement
 British Governor General of India, Lord Linlithgow, had
without consultation with the Congress brought India into
the war.

Army with the help of the Japanese announced war against
the British government in India.

war in return Pakistan, a separate Muslim state.

1942 to secure Indian cooperation and support for war.

eventual independence in return.
