FAQs about Civil Disobedience, Round Table Conferences and Poona Pact – GK Quiz with Answers – Level 1

When did the Civil Disobedience Movement start?
Gandhiji set out on the Salt March from Sabarmati Ashram on 12 March 1930. The Civil Disobedience Movement itself began on 6 April 1930, when he broke the salt law at Dandi by making salt from sea water.
What were the main terms of the Gandhi-Irwin Pact?
Signed on 5 March 1931, the pact saw Gandhiji call off civil disobedience and agree to attend the Second Round Table Conference. The government agreed to release political prisoners and to allow people in coastal areas to make salt.
Why was the Poona Pact signed?
Gandhiji fasted unto death against separate electorates for dalits, which the British had granted. The Poona Pact of September 1932 ended the dispute by giving the Depressed Classes reserved seats, to be elected by the general electorate.
Who represented the Congress at the Second Round Table Conference?
Mahatma Gandhi was the sole representative of the Congress at the Second Round Table Conference held in London in 1931.
