It  involved a passive resistance, without resorting to violence, to the  British rule by means of surrendering everything related to the  government. Councils, courts, schools and other institutions established  by the British government were boycotted. Titles were surrendered and  important posts in the government were resigned. Even the foreign cloths  were discarded.The congress party established a parallel police force to form an  alternative to the government forces. Almost every region in the country  participated in this movement, with the involvement of the local  leaders.
