C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 (1 and 2 only). The Salt Satyagraha, launched with the Dandi March in 1930, was a landmark event in the Indian national movement.
- Statement 1 is correct: The movement involved the symbolic defiance of the British salt monopoly. Following Gandhi’s lead, people across coastal India (such as C. Rajagopalachari in Vedaranyam and K. Kelappan in Malabar) manufactured salt, leading to widespread violation of salt laws.
- Statement 2 is correct: This movement marked the first large-scale participation of women in the freedom struggle. Figures like Sarojini Naidu, Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay, and Kasturba Gandhi led marches and picketed liquor and foreign cloth shops.
- Statement 3 is incorrect: While the movement saw massive participation from peasants, students, and merchants, the working class (industrial labor) participation remained limited or showed a downward trend compared to the Non-Cooperation Movement, except in specific pockets like Sholapur. Therefore, an "upward swing" in working-class involvement is historically inaccurate.
