The Civil Disobedience Movement was a significant campaign in India during the 1930s, led by Mahatma Gandhi. It aimed to resist British colonial rule through nonviolent means, encouraging citizens to disobey unjust laws peacefully. The movement sought to promote self-reliance and economic independence, particularly through the boycott of British goods and the promotion of local products. One of the most notable events of this movement was the Salt March in 1930, where Gandhi and his followers marched 240 miles to the Arabian Sea to produce salt, defying British salt laws. This act of civil disobedience galvanized widespread support and highlighted the struggle for Indian independence.
