Solution
Gandhiji started the non-cooperation movement in 1921 because, in his view, Indians' cooperation was essential to the establishment of British rule in India and the only reason it had existed. Therefore, it is now time to stop working with the British.
The suffering of the Indian people became worse by the First World War. People's lives became poor by famines, diseases, high prices, and heavy taxes. The Rowlatt Act sparked massive protests across the nation. The injustice done to Punjab and the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre angered Indians, who demanded revenge. to regain the position of Turkey's ruler. to introduce self-rule, or Swaraj, into India. Thus, the motivations behind the non-cooperation movement were universal, and as a result, the movement brought the nation together.
