Gandhi Ji preceded the concept of non-cooperation in his work (Hind Swaraj) for the very first time. He urged Indians that since the British government established their control in India with the cooperation of Indians. Hence, it will only be concluded if Indians deny cooperation with them. Accordingly, the people of India launched the non-cooperation movement under the leadership of M.K. Gandhi. This movement was launched in various steps. In the very first step, many Indians abandoned their titles and honours awarded by the British authority. Several civil servants of Indian origin began the boycotting of their duties, courts and congressional gatherings, schools and foreign goods. Moreover, many of the retailers and tradesmen refused to conduct trade in foreign goods.
