This Class 10 Social Science topic from Chapter 2, “Nationalism in India,” explains how the national movement moved towards Civil Disobedience. Students learn about the impact of the Simon Commission, the Lahore Congress and the demand for Purna Swaraj, followed by Gandhi’s Salt March and the launch of the Civil Disobedience Movement in 1930. The topic also examines participation by different social groups, the Gandhi-Irwin Pact, and the movement’s achievements and limitations in the wider struggle for independence.
