However 1918 Jallianwalka Bhag massacre culminated in churning the anger against British rule. After the massacre two developments happened. Two groups within Congress Extremists and Moderates developed. Lala Lajpat Rai, Vipin Chandra Paul, and Bala Gangadhar Tilak, got identified with extremists. Mahatma Gandhi, and others towed the line of moderates. Also sathyagraha, or ahimsa, became the main ammunition under M.K.Gandhi, to drive the British out.
4.The non-cooperation movement of 1920 was a great success. British were frustrated and could not control the agitations that were going on. They were at their wits end. Then one incident involving two Congress leaders Shoukat Ali,and Shoukat Ali, burnt a police station in a remote place in UP in retaliation to police excess. In the process two policemen died. Immediately Gandhi called off the movement in protest against the himsa. If the movement were to have continued for another month we would have got total independence in 1920 itself. This movement was the greatest one that happened before independence.
