Gandhi believed in non- violent struggle against the Britishers. But it took a violent turn at chauri chaura in Gorakhpur city' of Uttar pradesh.in 1992. Here the police fired upon a group of demonstraters.The agitated mobster fired police station and burnt 22 policemen alive. This shocked Gandhiji and called a holt to the movt.
