Question

Disscuss the different aspects of the non-cooperation movement.

Answer 1

The Non-Cooperation Movement was a significant phase of the Indian independence movement from British rule. It was led byMohandas Karamchand Gandhi after theJallianwala Bagh Massacre. It aimed to resist British rule in India through nonviolent means,"satyagraha". Protestors would refuse to buy British goods, adopt the use of local handicrafts and picket liquor shops. The ideas of Ahimsa and nonviolence, and Gandhi's ability to rally hundreds of thousands of common citizens towards the cause of Indian independence, were first seen on a large scale in this movement through the summer 1920. Gandhi feared that the movement might lead to popular violence. The non-cooperation movement was launched on 1st August, 1920.
