Hi,

The activities of Civil Disobedience Movement:

  1. boycott of foreign cloth
  2. picketing of liquor shops
  3. refusal of peasants to pay revenue and chaukidari taxes
  4. resignation by village officials
  5. violation of forest laws

Under the Non-Cooperation Movement, people were asked not to cooperate with the Britishers in the hope that British rule in india would collapse and swaraj would come.

On the other hand, under Civil Disobedience Movement, people were asked not only to refuse cooperation with the british but also to break colonial laws such as salt law. Thus, thousands broke the salt law, manufactured salt and demonstrated in fromt of government salt factories. Foreign cloth was boycotted, and liquor shops were picketed. Peasants refused to pay revenue and chaukidari taxes. Village officials resigned. Forest people violated forest laws.

Hope this helps!

It was decided that 26 January 1930 should be observed all over India as the Purna Swaraj (total independence) Day.
Many Indian political parties and Indian revolutionaries of a wide spectrum united to observe the day with honour and pride.

Gandhi emerged from his long seclusion by undertaking his most famous campaign, a march of about 400 kilometres from his commune in Ahmedabad to Dandi, on the coast of Gujarat between 12 March and 6 April 1930.
The march is usually known as the Dandi March or the Salt Satyagraha.
At Dandi, in protest against British taxes on salt, he and thousands of followers broke the law by making their own salt from seawater.

In April 1930 there were violent police-crowd clashes in Calcutta.
Approximately 100,000 people were imprisoned in the course of the Civil disobedience movement (1930-31), while in Peshawar unarmed demonstrators were fired upon in the Qissa Khwani bazaar massacre.
The latter event catapulted the then newly formed Khudai Khidmatgar movement (founder Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan, the Frontier Gandhi) onto the National scene.
While Gandhi was in jail, the first Round Table Conference was held in London in November 1930, without representation from the Indian National Congress.
The ban upon the Congress was removed because of economic hardships caused by the satyagraha. Gandhi, along with other members of the Congress Working Committee, was released from prison in January 1931.

So, there are the three main features of the Movement in 1930.

1) The Declaretion of an Independance Day nationally.
2) The Internationally famous Salt Satyagraha march.
3) The first Round Table Conference held without representation from the Indian National Congress and Gandhi in prison.

Hope it helps.
