Question

Where did Gandhi call the Congress to announce the suspension of the Non-Cooperation movement?
a. Bardoli
b. Poona
c. Calcutta
d. Madras

Answer 1

Hint:
The Non-Cooperation movement was launched on 5 September 1920. It was started by the great leader Mahatma Gandhi, whose main aim was the self-government, and they want to obtain full independence so as the Indian National Congress withdrew their support for British reforms and the Rowlatt Act of 21 March 1919 and also the Jallianwala Bagh massacre of 13 April 1919.

Complete solution:
Gandhiji planned that the Non-cooperation movement included persuaded all the Indian to not work as labour from any activity that continues the British government in India including the British Industries and educational institutions. Gandhiji promotes self-reliance by spinning khadi, he also bought Indian made goods only, and he does not use any English clothes. Gandhi’s non-cooperation movement was called for the restoration of the Khilafat in Turkey and this led to the end of untouchability. There were also many public meetings and hartals also organized and this led to the arresting of the both Jawaharlal Nehru and his father Motilal Nehru on 6 December 1921. Gandhiji then decided to discontinue the Non-cooperation movement so as the principle of ahimsa or non-violence are then violated, and then he calls the congress committee at Bardoli on 12 February 1922 to end the Non-cooperation movement.


Hence, the correct answer is option A.

Note:
The non-cooperation movement was taken away after the Chauri Chaura incident took place. The national revolt has also been stopped. On 10 March 1922, Mahatma Gandhi was arrested and later, on 18 March 1922, Gandhiji was awarded prison for six years in case of publishing seditious materials. This is the suppression of the movement and this was followed by the arrest of many leaders.
