Question

Discuss the various forms that the Non-Cooperation Movement took in different parts of India. How did the people understand Gandhiji?

Answer 1

Hint:We know that British captured India and ruled over a hundred years. Several Indian patriots protested against the British for the independence of India. Gandhiji was the main leader in Indian Freedom Movement. He is considered as the father of Nation for India.

Complete answer:
Non-cooperation movement was launched by Gandhiji with the aim of independence and self-reliance. There were four reasons for the non - cooperation movement Jallianwala Bagh Massacre and Dissatisfaction with Montagu-Chelmsford Reforms and Rowlatt Act of 1919.Jallianwala Bagh massacre was also known as the Amritsar massacre which held on 13 April 1919. General Reginald Dyer ordered the British Indian Army troops to fire their rifles towards the group of unarmed Indian civilians in the place Jallianwala Bagh, Amritsar, Punjab . In Total, 379 people died and over 1,200 people got injured.

Gandhiji United his knowledge and started the non cooperation movement on fifth September 1920. He persuaded all Indians to withdraw their interest and labour from any activity with the British government and their economy . It also includes British industries and educational institutions. He also insisted about self-reliance which includes the spinning and buying of khadi and made in India goods and also the boycott of British goods. It created unity among several Indians. The unity started several protests and meetings in India which led to the arrest of Jawaharlal Nehru and his father, Motilal Nehru, on 6 December 1921. This movement came to an end due to the chauri chaura incident. This non cooperation movement was followed by several people later for their protests.In Assam, a group of laborers of tea garden labourers demanded an increase in their wages. They used the non-cooperation movement strategy. His non-violent strategy was adopted by many leaders in the world for their freedom fight from colonial rule. Most of the countries were under colonial rule under different European countries.

Note:Though the British followed several strategies, India got independence on 15,August,1947 .The continuous protest by the Indian patriots freed India from the British. To remember the Purna Swaraj Declaration, Indian Constitution was amended on 26,January,1950.
