Difficulty: HardGandhian Era and Major Mass Movements

Arrange the following historical events associated with the Civil Disobedience Movement phase of the Indian Freedom Struggle in correct chronological order, from earliest to latest:

  1. 1Publication of Mahatma Gandhi's Eleven Demands to Lord Irwin in Young India
  2. 2Commencement of the historic Dandi March from Sabarmati Ashram
  3. 3Adjournment and conclusion of the First Round Table Conference in London
  4. 4Karachi Session of the Indian National Congress endorsing the Delhi Pact

Answer

The correct chronological sequence is: Publication of Mahatma Gandhi's Eleven Demands in Young India (January 31, 1930), followed by the Commencement of the Dandi March (March 12, 1930), the Conclusion of the First Round Table Conference (January 19, 1931), and the Karachi Session of the Indian National Congress endorsing the Delhi Pact (March 26–31, 1931).
The correct chronological sequence begins with Mahatma Gandhi's Eleven Demands published on January 31, 1930. The rejection of these demands led directly to the Dandi March starting on March 12, 1930. The First Round Table Conference in London ended on January 19, 1931, without Congress representation. Subsequently, the Gandhi-Irwin Pact was negotiated, leading to its formal endorsement at the Karachi INC Session in late March 1931.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Determine the date of Mahatma Gandhi's Eleven Demands.
Published in 'Young India' on January 31, 1930.
This served as the formal ultimatum before initiating direct mass action.
2
Identify the start date of the Salt Satyagraha (Dandi March).
Began on March 12, 1930, from Sabarmati Ashram.
This marked the official launch of the Civil Disobedience Movement.
3
Identify the conclusion date of the First Round Table Conference.
Concluded on January 19, 1931.
The failure of the conference without Congress led the Viceroy to lift the ban on the Congress Working Committee to facilitate talks.
4
Identify the date of the Karachi Congress Session.
Held from March 26 to March 31, 1931.
This session endorsed the Gandhi-Irwin Pact signed on March 5, 1931, and adopted resolutions on Fundamental Rights and National Economic Programme.
