Mahatma Gandhi and the National Movement — Question 18

The Congress decided to resume the Civil Disobedience Movement in January 1932 due to several reasons:

1. The Second Round Table Conference, which took place in London from September to December 1931, did not yield any significant outcomes.
2. The British government did not fully honour the terms of the Gandhi-Irwin Pact.
3. After the failure of the Second Round Table Conference, the Congress discovered that the British government had begun a new cycle of repression. A series of measures had been imposed to prevent meetings and boycotts.
4. Indian farmers were affected by the Great Depression of 1930s for which Gandhiji sought an interview with Viceroy Willingdon. The interview was refused.
