Question

Non-cooperation programme was adopted by congress at its ______ session.
A. Calcutta
B. Nagpur
C. Lahore
D. Bombay

Answer 1

Hint: The Non-Cooperation Movement was officially declared on August 1, 1920. When news of Bal Gangadhar Tilak's death arrived early in the morning, it was a sad day. Gandhi and a crowd of about 2 lakh people paid their respects to the "Maker of Modern India." The Movement began with strikes and processions throughout the country.

Complete answer:
The central non-cooperation agreements were negotiated at the Nagpur Session of Congress in December 1920. To promote the preservation of Hindu-Muslim unity and strict nonviolence, a programme was implemented that required people to surrender their titles, boycott schools, courts, and councils, and boycott foreign products. An agreement was reached at a congress session in Nagpur in December 1920, and the Non-Cooperation movement was adopted. Finally, during this session, an agreement between proponents and opponents of the movement was reached, and the Non Cooperation Movement was adopted. So, Gandhi wanted to pass the Non-Cooperation Movement Resolution in the Calcutta session, but due to opposition, he was only able to do so in the Nagpur session in 1920.

Gandhiji advocated for a staged approach to the movement. It should start with a boycott of the civil service, army, police, courts and legislative councils, colleges, and foreign products, as well as the surrender of titles bestowed by the government. If the government represses the people, a full-fledged civil disobedience movement will be launched. Mahatma Gandhi and Shaukat Ali toured widely in the summer of 1920, rallying public support for the movement. However, several members of Congress were concerned about the plans. They were hesitant to boycott the November 1920 council elections, fearing that the movement would result in widespread violence. Between September and December, there was a tumultuous fight within the Congress. For a while, it seemed that there was no point of convergence between proponents and opponents of the movement. Finally, in December 1920, at the Congress session in Nagpur, a consensus was reached, and the Non-Cooperation policy was implemented.
So we can conclude that the Non-cooperation programme was adopted by congress at its Nagpur session.

Note: At Nagpur Session 1920, a programme of title surrender, boycotts of schools, courts, and councils, boycotts of foreign products, promotion of Hindu-Muslim unity, and strict nonviolence were introduced. Some critical changes in the organisation of the Congress were made at the Nagpur session in December 1920, allowing it to become a true political party.
