Question

Name three events which disillusioned Gandhiji and turned him into a non-cooperator from a cooperator with the British government.

Answer 1

1. The Rowlatt Act (1919): It allowed the British government to arrest and detain people without trial. Gandhiji felt it was unjust and against civil rights.

2. The Jallianwala Bagh Massacre (1919): The brutal killing of innocent people in Amritsar shocked Gandhiji and destroyed his faith in British justice.

3. The Khilafat Issue (1919–1920): The British government broke its promise regarding the protection of the Turkish Caliph, which disappointed Indian Muslims and Gandhiji.
