what were the features of non co operational movement
Answers
Answer:
The following are the features of the Non- cooperation movement.
Explanation:
The Non-co operation Movement was launched in 1920 to force the government to remove the Punjab and Khilafat wrongs - the Jallianwala Bagh massacre had overwhelmed the nation and the Muslims were angered by the treatment meted out to Turkey by the British after the First World War. The main features of the movement can be summarized as follows:
1. The movement could cement Hindu-Muslim unity and bring Muslim masses into the national movement. It was a platform from which mass and united non-cooperation could be declared against the government.
2. The program included boycott of govt schools, colleges, law courts, foreign cloth, and Legislative Councils. It was a boycott of everything foreign.
3. It also included renunciation of govt honors and titles. This was an act of defiance against the imperial govt.
4. Use of Khadi and practice of hand-spinning were encouraged - this is a feature reminiscent of self-reliance advocated by the Swadeshi Movement post Bengal Partition.
5. The Movement was supposed to be firmly based on non-violence, but people failed to learn or fully understand the method of non-violence. Gandhi premised his idea of movement on the idea that a violent movement could be easily suppressed by the colonial regime who could use the incidents of violence as an excuse to use their armed might against people. Chauri Chaura incident of 1922 February forced Gandhi to withdraw the movement.
