Question

Answer the following question:

Discuss the main aspects of the Non-Cooperation Movement.

Answer 1

The growing antagonism of the Indians towards the British led to Khilafat and Non-Cooperation Movement. Gandhiji looked upon the Khilafat agitation as an opportunity of uniting Hindus and Muslims as would not arise in a hundred years. The Non­cooperation Movement was named so because it decided not to cooperate with the Government by renunication of titles, boycott of legislature, resigning from government jobs, lawyers leaving courts, students leaving British schools and colleges, boycott of British Goods and other activities. People refused to pay taxes, no longer recognising government as legitimate.
