\nWhy did Gandhiji choose to break the salt law?
\nAnswer:
\nGandhiji was very much worried about the salt law. According to this law, the state had a monopoly on the manufacture and sale of salt. Gandhiji thought that it was sinful to tax salt because it is an essential item of our food and is required equally by the rich and the poor. Hence he decided to break this law in anticipation that people from all walks of life would extend their support. Needless to say that Gandhiji\u2019s Salt March became very successful.<\/p>\n

\nWhat was the Rowlatt Act? Give an account of the Rowlatt Satyagraha.
\nAnswer:
\nThe British passed the Rowlatt Act in the year 1919. The Act curbed fundamental rights such as the freedom of expression and strengthened police powers.

They viewed the Act as devilish and tyrannical. Gandhiji decided to oppose this Act.

\nAnswer:
\nGandhiji felt that Purna Swaraj would not come on its own. It had to be fought for. He was very much worried about government\u2019s Salt Law. In 1930, he decided to break this law.
\n
\nAccording to the law, the state had a monopoly on the manufacture and sale of salt. Mahatma Gandhi and other prominent leaders of the freedom struggle thought that it was sinful to tax salt because it is an essential item of our food. Both the rich and the poor needed it equally. Gandhiji felt that his Salt March would become popular and would represent the genral desire of freedom to a specific grievance shared by all. On 6 April, 1930, Gandhiji alongwith his followers marched for over 240 miles from Sabarmati to the coastal town of Dandi. Here, they broke the government law by gathering natural salt found on the seashore, and boiling sea water to produce salt.<\/p>\n
\nUnder what circumstances did Gandhiji initiate the Quit India Movement?
\nAnswer:
\nIn September 1939, the Second World War broke out. The. British government in India needed help from the Indian leaders. The leaders were ready to support the British war effort. But in return they wanted that India be granted independence after the war. The British refused to accept the demand. This enraged the Congress ministries. They all resigned to show their protest.
\nMahatma Gandhi was deeply perturbed. He now decided to initiate a new phase of movement against the British rule in the middle of the Second World War. This movement came to be known as the Quit India Movement. Gandhiji thought that the British must Quit India without further delay. He raised the slogan \u2018do or die\u2019 which spread among the common mass very soon. But at the same time he warned the people not to be violent in any condition.<\/p>\nClass 8 History Chapter 11 The Making of the National Movement Source-Based Questions<\/h4>\n
