Consider the following statements regarding the Civil Disobedience Movement in Tamil Nadu: 1. C. Rajagopalachari led the historic salt satyagraha march from Tiruchirappalli to Vedaranyam in April 1930. 2. Rukmini Lakshmipathi was the first woman to pay a penalty for breaking salt laws during the movement in Tamil Nadu. 3. The Justice Party actively organized and participated in the salt marches across all districts of the Madras Presidency.

💡 Solution & Explanation

Statements one and two are correct. C. Rajagopalachari led the Vedaranyam Salt March, and Rukmini Lakshmipathi became the first woman activist to pay a fine for violating salt laws in Tamil Nadu. Statement three is incorrect because the Justice Party opposed the Civil Disobedience Movement and the Congress methods, viewing them as unconstitutional and preferring constitutional lobbying for communal representation. The Justice Party stance isolated them from the mainstream nationalist wave.
