Question

Write an brief note on non cooperation movement

Answer 1

The Non-Cooperation Movement was a significant phase of the Indian independence movement from British rule. It was led by Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi after the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre. It aimed to resist British rule in India through nonviolent means,"Ahimsa". Protesters would refuse to buy British goods, adopt the use of local handicrafts and picket liquor shops. The ideas of Ahimsa and nonviolence, 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 31 August 1920

Answer 2

Gandhiji started the Non-cooperation Move­ment in 1921. He asked the people not to cooperate with the British. They were asked not to go to the schools run by the British, not to use foreign made cloth and not to attend the courts. The movement was peaceful. Some men set fire to a police post at Chori Chora. Some policemen died. This was a violent act. Mahatma Gandhi withdrew this movement at once. Gandhiji was arrested and put in the prison.
