Non Co-Operation Movement.: by Gandhiji (Post World War 1)

The Non-Cooperation Movement was led by Mahatma Gandhi after World War 1 to resist British rule in India through non-violent means. It was supported by the Indian National Congress and aimed to oppose British oppression as seen by acts like the Rowlatt Act and Jalianwala Bagh massacre. The movement lasted from 1920 to 1922 but was called off by Gandhi after violent clashes broke out in Chauri Chaura, with Gandhi appealing for Indians to stop resistance through a three day fast. The impact of the movement included boosting Indian industries while reducing foreign imports.
