3Non-acceptance of Purna Swaraj Rimand
4High tax burden and exploitation of Indians = grievance acquire British salt tax.

These factors and events culminated into Civil Disobedience Movement with Gandhi's move from his Ashram Satyagraha to leading cause of Dandi village and making salt of seawater, defying British.

2Failure of 2nd and Round table Conference - Bhagat Singh and other suspension from Charging (page of Gandhi)-here par
3Couldn't save Bhagat Singh and other execution from Charging (page of Gandhi)-here par

Thus, Civil Disobedience Movement has vindicated outcomes shaping course of independence

More dependent on social factors - Eg poverty due to ghettoization

More wider: - Time poverty, demeaning & knowledge poverty

Solutions need multi-pronged approach by changing mentalities

Solutions through rural development, BNet livinghi, subsidy ensuring affordability

Due to hunger since more individual 'estic

Then, though differing in type, form from rural & urban poverty need to be minimised to future SDGs of No Poverty.
