Answer 1

Answer :

What was the cause of disagreement between the

Congress-led Non-Cooperation Movement and the

Peasants’ and Workers’ Movements? [3]

Ans :

The Congress under Gandhiji believed in achieving

‘Swaraj’ by peaceful means and total non-violence. He

believed in Satyagraha, truth and non-violence. He

believed in non-cooperation with British regime.

The peasants and workers, though believed in

Gandhi’s Swaraj, khadi and boycott, did not always

believe in non-violence. They sometimes turned

violent to achieve their aims, which went against the

Congress creed. The violence at Chauri-Chaura led to

suspension of the Non-Cooperation movement. The

peasants in Awadh also indulged in violence against

landlords and taluqdars.
