[D] Quit India Movement
Show Answer
Correct Answer: C [Civil Disobedience Movement]
Notes:Salt Satyagraha began with the Dandi March on March 12, 1930 and was the part of the first phase of the Civil Disobedience Movement. Gandhi led the Dandi march from Sabarmati Ashram to the sea coast near the village of Dandi. In this journey of 24 days and covering a distance of 390 kilometer, thousands of people joined him. He reached Dandi on April 6, 1930, and broke the salt law.
This triggered the Civil Disobedience Movement and millions of Indians jumped in the tumult.
