      The Civil Disobedience Movement in India had its origins in the aftermath of the Round Table Conferences and the failure of the Simon Commission, which lacked Indian representation. Mahatma Gandhi, disillusioned with the lack of progress towards addressing Indian political demands, initiated the movement as a non-violent protest against British colonial rule.

      The movement officially began with the Dandi March on March 12, 1930. Gandhi, along with a group of followers, embarked on a 240-mile journey from Sabarmati Ashram to the coastal town of Dandi in Gujarat. The primary objective was to protest the British salt monopoly, symbolizing the broader resistance against unjust colonial laws and taxes. The march gained widespread attention, attracting people from various backgrounds and regions.

      On April 6, 1930, Gandhi reached Dandi and ceremoniously violated the salt laws by picking up natural salt from the Arabian Sea. This symbolic act marked the commencement of the Civil Disobedience Movement. Following Gandhi's lead, people across the country started manufacturing salt and boycotting British salt, directly challenging the oppressive salt tax imposed by the colonial administration.

      The movement quickly gained momentum as millions of Indians participated in acts of civil disobedience, refusing to comply with various British laws and regulations. Indians boycotted foreign goods, refused to pay taxes, and engaged in peaceful protests and demonstrations. The movement aimed to disrupt the normal functioning of colonial institutions, showcasing the power of non-violent resistance.

      The British authorities responded with repression and arrests, attempting to quell the growing dissent. Despite this, the Civil Disobedience Movement continued to spread, drawing attention to the injustices of British rule and fostering a sense of unity and purpose among the Indian masses.

      The Civil Disobedience Movement marked a significant phase in India's struggle for independence, demonstrating the effectiveness of non-violent resistance as a powerful tool against oppressive colonial forces. The movement set the stage for future campaigns, including the Quit India Movement, and contributed significantly to the eventual attainment of India's independence in 1947.
