The Non-Cooperation Movement
#Indian_National_Movement
The first of the
Gandhi-led movements was the
Non -Cooperation Movement lasting from September
1920 until February 1922.If the residents of a country stop co-operating with the British, then the minority Britishers would be forced to give up.This meant that people left their
jobs, removed their children from
schools, and
avoided government offices.
The name
Mahatma Gandhi became
popular. However, the Non-Cooperation Movement ended when a
violent mob erupted in Chauri Chaura in Uttar Pradesh. The individuals involved burned a
police station, killing 23 police officials. Gandhi stopped the movement, remaining true to his stance on
non-violent protesting.The abrupt ending of the Non-Cooperation Movement did nothing to stop the
quest for independence.
