If Indians showed any repression the massacre would be real.
Our rule is weakening . we'll have to do something.
lets impose Rowlatt act where no Indian can protest against our policies or else would be put in jail
As the government didn't show any interest in providing us concessions, I think we should start civil disobedience movement(to not only deny to cooperate but also violate laws)
you poor satyagrahis...Now you all we'll see my terror.
I give you an offer of ‘dominion status’ for India in an unspecified future, and a Round Table Conference to discuss a future constitution.
We want Poorna swaraj not your vague offers ....this shall be our final decision to celebrate independence day on 26 January 1930
But the celebrations attracted very little attention. So Mahatma Gandhi had to find a way to relate this abstract idea of freedom to more concrete issues of everyday life.He choose to violate salt law and other foreign goods.
Let us manufacture salt and demonstrate in front of government salt factories. And boycott foreign clothes , and liquor shops . Peasants to refuse to pay revenue and chaukidari taxes, village officials resign , and forest people violate forest laws – going into Reserved Forests to collect wood and graze cattle. Then only Britishers willl understand
Worried by the developments, the colonial government began arresting the Congress leaders one by one.In such a situation, Mahatma Gandhi once again decided to call off the movement and entered into a pact with Irwin on 5 March 1931
By this Gandhi-Irwin Pact, Gandhi you will have to participate in a Round Table Conference in London and then only government will agree to release the political prisoners
In December 1931, Gandhiji went to London for the conference, but the negotiations broke down and he returned disappointed.
But this resulted in unity in our country and Britishers had to leave because of our civil non cooperation .
With great apprehension ,I relaunched the Civil Disobedience Movement. For over a year, the movement continued, but by 1934 it lost its momentum.
