Question

Why did the civil disobedience movement called off after the second round table conference ?

Answer 1

Dear Student,

After a failed round table conference, Gandhiji launched the civil disobedience movement. In retaliation by the British government, Indian leaders were arrested, angry crowds demonstrated in the streets of Peshawar, facing armoured cars and police firing. Hundreds of people were killed.
A month later, Gandhiji himself was arrested, industrial workers attacked police posts, government buildings, law courts and railway stations and various structures that were directly working for the British rule. Even the peaceful satyagrahis were attacked, women and children were beaten, and about 100,000 people were arrested.
To break the deadline between Congress and the government Lord Irwin invited Gandhiji for a peace pact that was called Gandhi—Irwin Pact. As a consequence of the above reasons, Gandhiji decided to call off the movement.
