Answer
The Congress decided to resume the Civil Disobedience Movement in January 1932 due to several reasons:
- The Second Round Table Conference, which took place in London from September to December 1931, did not yield any significant outcomes.
- The British government did not fully honour the terms of the Gandhi-Irwin Pact.
- After the failure of the Second Round Table Conference, the Congress discovered that the British government had begun a new cycle of repression. A series of measures had been imposed to prevent meetings and boycotts.
- Indian farmers were affected by the Great Depression of 1930s for which Gandhiji sought an interview with Viceroy Willingdon. The interview was refused.
