This helped in arousing nationalist feelings.

Question 2.
In what way the people of Madhya Pradesh made their contribution in the Civil Disobedience Movement?
Answer:
The people of Madhya Pradesh made their contribution in the Civil Disobedience Movement in several ways. Some of the main movements are as:

  1. The forest struggle (satyagraha) of Turia Jungle.
  2. Jungle Satyagraha of Ghodadongri.
  3. The Firing Incidence of Charanpaduka.

During the freedom movement many political and social service institutions were set up; their ways of working and policies, though different, their contribution in the movement was remarkable. Thus contribution of the people of Madhya Pradesh was memorable.

Question 3.
What was Jungle Satyagraha? (MP Board 2013)
Answer:
When in 1930 Gandhiji marched to Dandi and led the ‘Namak Satyagraha’, at the time the Congress workers of Seoni, under the leadership of Durga Shankar Mehta carried out the ‘Jungle Satyagraha’. About 9 – 10 kms from Seoni, a movement to cut grass from the Government Sandalwood Gardens, was started.

In continuation of the above movement another movement to cut grass in the jungles of Turia 28 kms from Seoni. It was planned to enter Turia jungle on 9th October, 1930. The police and range officers insulted the freedom fighters and the public who had assembled there in support of the freedom fighters.

The Deputy Commissioner, Seoni ordered police to open fire on them to ‘teach a lesson’. On the spot four tribals viz. Guddobai, Ramabai, Bemabai and Birju Gond died. This incidence is a proof of the fact that the freedom movement spread even among the tribals. The bodies of these martyrs were not handed over to their families.

Question 4.
How did ‘Jhanda Satyagraha’ take place? Explain?
Answer:
During the freedom movement, tricolour with spinning wheal (charkha) in the centre was having the status of national flag. During 1923 an incident with regard to its honour occurred that the whole nation stood for it and even the British administration had to recognize that fact.

This incidence has gone in the history of freedom struggle and is known as ’Jhanda Satyagraha’. The Congress party constituted a committee under the leadership of Hakim Ajmal Khan to assess the extent of mental preparedness of the people in favour of the Non – Cooperation Movement.

The Jabalpur Congress Committee decided to honour Mr. Khan and hoist the tricolour on the building of Jabalpur Municipality. The British Government took this act of honouring Mr. Khan as an insult of the British rule and ordered the police to not only remove the flag but insult is by crushing it under feet. Consequently the people were extremely annoyed. They agitated and this agitation became a national agitation only after few months.
