"Sedition has become my religion" was the famous statement given by Gandhiji at the time of

A
the Champaran Satyagraha
B
publicly violating Salt Law at Dandi
Correct Answer
C
attending the Second Round Table Conference in London
D
the launch of the Quit India Movement

Explanation

Gandhi made this statement on April 5, 1930, at Dandi, asserting that defying the unjust Salt Law was a moral duty and that "sedition" against an oppressive colonial government had become a religious obligation. Option (c) is a common distractor because it belongs to the same era, but that event focused on constitutional negotiations rather than the active, symbolic defiance characterized by this specific quote. The core concept tested is the ideological evolution of the Civil Disobedience Movement and the specific rhetoric used by Gandhi to justify mass non-compliance with British law.
