Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM)

The Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM) is a form of nonviolent protest where individuals intentionally break certain laws or regulations to challenge unjust government policies. This movement, notably associated with figures like Mahatma Gandhi during India's struggle for independence, emphasizes moral resistance rather than violent opposition. Participants in CDM aim to raise awareness and prompt change by highlighting the injustice of specific laws. It seeks to inspire social or political reform while maintaining a commitment to peaceful actions, often resulting in arrests or penalties to illustrate the severity of the injustice being protested.
