7 . Non co operation movement
Answers
Answer:
Non-cooperation movement was a mass movement which involved participation from the nationalists as well as the public.
Factors that led to formation of this movement was the oppressive policies of Britishers such as the Rowlatt Act and the Jallianwala Bagh incident in Amritsar. During these incidents many protestors and civilians were killed.
Gandhiji being a believer of non-violence was taken aback and decided not to cooperate with the British government. Hence the Non-cooperation Movement came to existence.
It was a peaceful and a non-violent protest against the British government. The Non-cooperation Movement was launched with the aim of self governance and obtaining full independence.
It was planned to persuade all the Indians to withdraw their labour from any activity that sustained the British government and economy in India and also to promote self-reliance which included self-rule and Swadeshi.
In this movement, Gandhi encouraged people to use Indian made goods and boycott English goods.
This movement was called for the restoration of khilafat in Turkey and also to end untouchability.
Millions of people participated in this movement and started boycotting foreign goods and made their own goods.
But this movement did not last long and was called off by Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru in 1922 after a large number of police officers were murdered as well as the police station was put on fire in Chauri Chaura by the British Government.
Note: ‘KHADI’ was promoted in India by Mahatma Gandhi during this movement. The practice of boycotting foreign imports is called Swadeshi and was introduced when there were protests against partition of Bengal in 1905-06.

Answer:
The non-cooperation movement was a political campaign launched on 4 September 1920, by Mahatma Gandhi to have Indians revoke their cooperation from the British government, with the aim of inducing the British to grant self-governance and full independence to India
The movement arose from the widespread outcry in India over the massacre at Amritsar in April 1919, when the British-led troops killed several hundred Indians. That anger was later compounded by indignation at the government’s alleged failure to take adequate action against those responsible, notably Gen. Reginald Edward Harry Dyer, who had commanded the troops involved in the massacre. Gandhi strengthened the movement by supporting (on nonviolent terms) the contemporaneous Muslim campaign against the dismemberment of the Ottoman Empire after World War I.
