The Salt Satyagraha was a turning point in the Indian independence movement, and it helped to galvanize support for Gandhi&#8217;s nonviolent methods.<\/p>\n<p>Deshmukh was born in 1909 in Hyderabad, India. She was educated at home by her father, who was a scholar and a freedom fighter. Deshmukh began her career as a teacher, but she soon became involved in the independence movement. She was arrested several times for her activities, and she spent time in prison.<\/p>\n<p>After India gained independence in 1947, Deshmukh continued to work for social justice. She was a founding member of the All India Women&#8217;s Conference, and she served as its president from 1958 to 1964. She also worked for the improvement of the status of women in India, and she was a strong advocate for education and employment opportunities for women.<\/p>\n<p>Deshmukh died in 1981 at the age of 72. She was a pioneer in the fight for women&#8217;s rights in India, and she is remembered as a leading figure in the Indian independence movement.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect because:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>b) Women&#8217;s rights: Deshmukh was a strong advocate for women&#8217;s rights, but she did not play a key role in the women&#8217;s rights movement.<\/li>\n<li>c) Khadi Movement: The Khadi Movement was a movement to promote the use of hand-spun and hand-woven cloth. Deshmukh was a supporter of the Khadi Movement, but she did not play a key role in it.<\/li>\n<li>d) Anti-Hindi agitations: Deshmukh was not involved in the anti-Hindi agitations. These agitations were protests against the imposition of Hindi as the national language of India.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;Salt Satyagraha&#8221;
