Question

Why did Gandhi ji choose non cooperation movement for mass movement

Answer 1

Answer:

Although most of the Congress leaders were in jail because of Civil Disobedience movement, Gandhiji opposed vehemently the idea of electorates based on religion and Caste and hence Congress didn't have any representatives in the first round table conference due to its boycott of Gandhi.

Answer 2

Indians Brought British Rule

Explanation:

Gandhiji launched the Non-cooperation movement of 1921 because:  

1.) Indians themselves were responsible for british rule establishment in india, as said by Gandhiji, the reason for survival was this cooperation.

So time has arrived to withdraw cooperation to the British.  

2.) First World War added to the misery of the Indian people. Heavy taxes, high prices, famines and epidemics made people's life miserable.  

3.) Rowlatt Act invited large scale protests throughout the country.  

4.) Jallianwala Bagh Massacre and the injustice done to Punjab made Indians angry which need to be avenged.

5.) To bring Swaraj or Self Rule to India.  

Mahatma Gandhi declared that the main objectives of the non cooperation movement were :  

• To cripple the British administration and make them realize that they cannot function without the actual support of the Indians.  

• To avenge the wrong done by the Government in Punjab (Jallianwala Bagh Massacre) in a non violent way.  

• To bring about unity among the people. To inculcate a sense of nationalism.  

• To promote khadi and to attain Swaraj.
