The main purpose of Gandhi-Irwin Pact was
1) To make the participation of Congress easier in round table conference
2) To end the Civil Disobedience Movement
3) To break the death strike of Gandhiji
4) To end the tax on salt
The correct answer is To end the Civil Disobedience Movement .
The main purpose of the Gandhi-Irwin Pact, signed on March 5, 1931, was to end the Civil Disobedience Movement initiated by Mahatma Gandhi in 1930. The pact was signed between Mahatma Gandhi, the leader of the Indian National Congress, and Lord Irwin, the Viceroy of India at that time. The Civil Disobedience Movement was a mass campaign of nonviolent resistance against the British colonial government’s salt tax and other oppressive policies.
Under the Gandhi-Irwin Pact, the Congress agreed to suspend the Civil Disobedience Movement and participate in the Second Round Table Conference in London. In return, the British government agreed to release the political prisoners who had been arrested during the movement and to allow the Congress to attend the conference as the sole representative of the Indian people.
However, the negotiations at the Round Table Conference failed to achieve any significant progress, and the Congress eventually withdrew from the talks. The failure of the conference led to the resumption of the Civil Disobedience Movement in 1932.
Therefore, the correct option is 2) To end the Civil Disobedience Movement.
