In South Africa, Gandhi in opposition to the compulsory registration of the Indian population under the Asiatic Law Amendment Act of the Transvaal government organized a non-violent protest which led to the passing of Indian Relief Act 1914- which eliminated the extra tax on Indian citizens who had not renewed their indentures and recognized the validity of Indian marriages.<\/li><li><strong>Statement 2 is not correct:<\/strong> Lord Chelmsford, the then-viceroy of India invited Gandhi to Delhi, at an award conference in order to gain the trust of the empire and Gandhi agreed to move people to enlist in the army for World War I. He agreed to the resolution with the the belief that absolutely unconditional and whole-hearted cooperation with the government on the part of educatedIndiawill bring us insight of our goal of Swaraj as nothing else will.<\/li><li><strong>Statement 3 is correct: <\/strong>The Salt March or the Dandi March was commenced on March 12th, 1930 and extended for a period of 24 days. The salt law was broken by Gandhi on April 6th when he collected salt from mud. As the Salt March ended in month of April 1930, between June and August several Congress Working Committees and leaders were arrested and Congress as a political was declared illegal by the British Administration<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/edukemy.com\/free-resources-for-upsc?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Banner&amp;utm_campaign=Resources\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"300\" data-src=\"https:\/\/edukemy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/18.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42398 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/edukemy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/18.png 1280w, https:\/\/edukemy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/18-1170x274.png 1170w, https:\/\/edukemy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/18-585x137.png 585w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1280px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1280\/300;\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For UPSC Prelims Resources,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/edukemy.com\/upsc-cse-prelims-resource-centre\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Click here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Daily Updates and Study Material:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Join our Telegram Channel \u2013&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/WithEdukemy4IAS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Edukemy for IAS<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>1.
