Question 5 • HVA 26-27 IM Contemporary World Problems A

Describe three actions that Gandhi organized to protest British rule over India.

Answer

Answer:

Gandhi organized the Noncooperation Movement, urging Indians to boycott British schools, courts, goods, and government institutions. He led the Salt March in 1930 to protest the British salt tax, beginning a wider Civil Disobedience Movement in which people openly disobeyed unjust colonial laws. In 1942, he helped organize the Quit India Movement, which called for the British to leave India. These campaigns used mass participation and emphasized nonviolent resistance.
