The answer is (2)- draw attention to critical issues

Answer 2

The correct answer is 2. The purpose of Mohandas Gandhi's actions such as the Salt March and the textile boycott was to draw attention to critical issues in India.

From 1919, Ghandi openly belonged to the front of the Indian nationalist movement. He established new methods of social struggle, such as the hunger strike, and in his programs he rejected armed struggle and carried out a preaching of the ahimsa (nonviolence) as a means to resist British rule and to reveal the abuses and problems of colonialism in his country.
