India: The Revolution In the 1930s, G.

At the congress of the INC in Lahore (Punjab) in 1929, J. Nehru was elected as its president, on the initiative of which the achievement of complete independence ("purna swaraj") was declared as the final goal of the movement. In the spring of 1930, MK Gandhi published his "II points" - a program of demands submitted to the British authorities, and announced the launch of a new campaign of civil disobedience. In the course of the mass repressions, MK Gandhi and tens of thousands of his supporters were arrested. Against the backdrop of a massive campaign of non-cooperation, which took place, as a rule, in peaceful forms, at the beginning of the 1930s, large-scale armed actions organized by revolutionary underground workers took place in a number of places. The most powerful performances were in Peshawar in the North-West and in Chittagong in the East of Northern India.

In both cities, power temporarily passed into the hands of the insurgents. Especially dangerous for the colonial administration was the situation in Peshawar, since the insurgents were supported by peasants who opposed the British. These uprisings were the last major speeches of national revolutionaries, who in the 1920s created significant underground organizations in the Punjab, Bengal and other parts of northern India and committed several terrorist acts of a demonstrative nature during this period. Their leaders, including the fearless Punjabi revolutionary Bhagat Singh, realized the hopelessness of the chosen path. Many of them joined the KPI. In the early 30-ies the terrorist movement as an independent trend of Indian nationalism came down from the political arena.

Trying to exert the best possible pressure on the colonial administration, MK Gandhi skilfully combined the mass campaigns of civil disobedience (three in 1930-1933) with participation in the negotiations on the future constitutional order of India (the "round table" conference). However, the second onslaught of the forces of the national liberation movement ended in failure. English imperialism was still strong enough to maintain its position in India. In May 1933 MK Gandhi announced the termination of another campaign of no cooperation.
