Mahatma Gandhi did not lead the Swadeshi Movement of 1905. On October 16,1905 when the Partition of Bengal was given effect to, Bengal plunged into grief. The people decided to boycott the foreign goods and use Swadeshi. A special session of the Indian National Congress was convened at Calcutta in September 1920 to adopt the policy of progressive non-violent non-cooperation inaugurated by Mahatma Gandhi. The resolution on Noncooperation was again repeated at the Nagpur session of the INC in December 1920. The Civil Disobedience Movement (1930–1934) was started with the famous Dandi March. The Congress Working Committee met on July 14,1942 at Wardha and adopted the famous ‘Quit India Resolution’. This resolution was accepted with some modification by All India Congress Committee in Bombay on August 8,1942. Gandhiji gave the call ‘do or die’.
