how did hindu and muslim relation get worse after the chauri chaura
Answers
Chauri Chaura witnessed a large protest on February 5, 1922 as part of the Non-Cooperation Movement.
The demonstration actually started a day before when about 2,500 people picketed a liquor shop.
The police arrested one of the leaders. The people were infuriated and gathered before the police chowki, demanding the release of their leader.
Armed police arrived and fired at the slogan-shouting protesters. Three people were killed on the spot and many more were injured.
This exacerbated the situation as the infuriated protesters irately advanced towards the policemen without bothering about their guns.
This astonishing display of courage by the protesters intimidated the policemen and they sought protection in the chowki.
The incensed crowd set the chowki on fire, burning alive 23 Indian policemen.
