Hint:
 On March 12, 1930, the leader of Indian independence, Mohandas Gandhi, began a rebellion against the sea to protest against the British monopoly on salt. This was his boldest civil disobedience to date, against British rule in India.

Complete step by step solution:
Civil Disobedience Movement: Khan is a Pakhtun Pathak from the Northwest Frontier Province, now known as (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, it is believed that people have accepted the code of retaliation. However, because Khan resonates with Islam, Khan accepted the Mahatma’s philosophy of non-violence, thereby denying Khan the oath of "Khudai Khidmatgar or Servant of God" was made, which included not using violence, taking revenge or revenge, and always forgiving those who indulged in oppression/excessiveness against them.
Khan was nicknamed Bendi Gandhi because of his strict adherence to the Mahatma's nonviolent methods. At the age of 22, under the leadership of Khan, some people actively participated in the civil disobedience movement in accordance with the method designated by Mahatma. Khan was also an active participant in the salt march led by the Mahatma.
He was arrested in 1930. In protest, thousands of followers surrounded the prison, and many more marched in Peshawar and other places. In order to suppress the non-violent rebellion, Britain took the action of shooting at unarmed protesters, but Khan's followers refused to fight back even if they were circumcised by the British.

Note:
This movement reached the northwestern polar corner of India and aroused the brave Pathans. Under the leadership of the well-known "Frontier Gandhi" Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan, Pathans organized the Khudai Khidmatgars (or servants of God) society, commonly known as the Red Shirt Army.
