Question

The Salt Satyagraha is also known as:

• A. Non-Cooperation Movement
• B. Civil Disobedience Movement
• C. Khilafat Movement
• D. Quit India Movement

Hint:

Key Difference: Civil Disobedience actively violated laws (e.g., salt marches), while Non-Cooperation withdrew from British institutions.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The Salt Satyagraha (1930) launched the Civil Disobedience Movement (1930–34), marked by:
- Defiance of British laws (e.g., making salt illegally).
- Mass participation across classes, unlike the earlier Non-Cooperation Movement (1920–22).
- Rejecting Distractors:
- Non-Cooperation (1) involved boycotts (e.g., schools, courts), not law-breaking.
- Khilafat (3) (1919–24) addressed Ottoman Caliphate issues.
- Quit India (4) (1942) demanded immediate British withdrawal.
