Question

What is the non co-operation movement? (It was started by Gandhi)

Answer 1

The non cooperation movement was started by Gandhi to show the Britishers that the Indians were not happy with their policies. The Indians started to boycott British products and quitting the government jobs provided by them. Students also quit school. People burned British products to show their disapproval.

Answer 2

Hii,

However, the British took control. Indians could no longer make their own salt. They were forced to buy salt from the British. They also had to pay tax on salt. This made them very angry because salt became very expensive and many Indians could not afford to buy it.
The poor in India did not have enough money to buy spices and cooking oil. So, for them, after air and water, salt was the most important thing. Gandhiji thought a plan.
It was a plan that would help the people fight all unfair things the British were doing in India.
Gandhiji told the British government exactly what he was going to do. He wrote to them saying that if they did not accept his demands, he would break the salt law and encourage all Indians to do the same. How would he break the salt law? He would walk all the way from Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad to a small coastal village called Dandi, 384 kilometers away, In this way all the people he met on the way would get to know his demands, and many would join him. At Dandi, the Arabian Sea left large deposits of salt crystals on the shore. Gandhiji said he would show the world that Indians could make their own salt and smell it. Indians would not pay the unfair salt tax. In fact, Indians would not pay any unfair tax. Gandhiji called this Satyagraha. It meant refusing to follow unfair laws, using only peaceful and non-violent means. The Salt Satyagraha was just the beginning. On 12 March 1930, everyone at the ashram awoke early. They bathed prayed and gathered around Gandhiji. He talked to them for a few moments. Then he and seventy-eight others set out for Dandi. Each one carried a cloth bag with only the most essential items needed for the journey. The Dandi March had begun. Gandhiji and his followers took twenty-five days to reach Dandi. As they marched, more and more people joined them. Once at the seaside, Gandhiji collected sea water, heated it and made five grams of salt.
More and more people agreed with Gandhiji. Finally, the British had to allow people to make salt from the sea coast for their own use.
