Question

Describe briefly the Non-cooperation Movement in Tamil Nadu.

Answer 1

Tamil Nadu was very active during the Non-cooperation Movement under the leadership of C. Rajagopalachari and E. V. Ramaswamy. Rajaji worked closely with Yakub Hasan, the founder of the Madras branch of the Muslim League. As a result, the Hindus and Muslims cooperated closely during the movement in Tamil Nadu. A Congress volunteer corps of about 1000 members was set up to distribute pamphlets, carry flags during processions, and to maintain order in the meetings.
