Detailed explanation-1: -Civil disobedience is the active, professed refusal of a citizen to obey certain laws, demands, orders or commands of a government (or any other authority). By some definitions, civil disobedience has to be nonviolent to be called “civil".
Detailed explanation-2: -Civil disobedience can be defined as refusing to obey a law, a regulation or a power judged unjust in a peaceful manner. Civil disobedience is, therefore, a form of resistance without violence.
Detailed explanation-3: -(i) The Civil Disobedience Movement was started by Mahatma Gandhi in 1930. He wanted to oppose the colonial rule by breaking laws framed by it. This movement started with the Salt Satygraha (Dandi March) organised by Mahatma Gandhi. He began walking on 12 March 1930 from his Sabarmati Ashram.
Detailed explanation-4: -Hint: The Civil disobedience movement was one of the Indian National Movement when people started protesting against the British government because of their harsh policies and rules.
Detailed explanation-5: -The march covered over 240 miles, from Gandhiji’s ashram in a place called Sabarmati to the Gujarati coastal town of Dandi. On 6 April he reached Dandi, and ceremonially violated the law, and started manufacturing salt by boiling seawater. This movement marked the beginning of the Civil Disobedience Movement.
