Question

Write about methods of protest during non-cooperation and civil disobedience movement?

Answer 1

Non-Cooperation Movement 



was a significant but short phase of the Indian independence movement from British rule. It was led by Mahatma Gandhi after theJallianwala Bagh Massacre and lasted from 1920 to February 1922.[1] It aimed to resist British rule in India through non-violent means, or "Ahinsa". Protesters would refuse to buy British goods, adopt the use of local handicrafts and picked liquor shops. The ideas of Ahinsa and non-violence, and Gandhi's ability to rally hundreds of thousands of common citizens towards the cause of Indian independence, were first seen on a large scale in this movement through the summer of 1920. Gandhi feared that the movement might lead to popular violence. The non-cooperation movement was launched on 1 August 1920 and withdrawn in February 1922 after the Chauri Chauraincident.



Civil disobedience



 is the active, professed refusal of a citizen to obey certain laws, demands, orders or commands of agovernment or occupying international power. Civil disobedience is sometimes defined as having to be nonviolent to be called civil disobedience. Civil disobedience is sometimes, therefore, equated withnonviolent resistance.[1][2]

Although civil disobedience is considered to be an expression of contempt for law, Martin Luther King Jr. regarded civil disobedience to be a display and practice of reverence for law; for as "Any man who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust and willingly accepts the penalty by staying in jail in order to arouse the conscience of the community on the injustice of the law is at that moment expressing the very highest respect for law."[3
