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.

Mewat is one of the most backward areas in Haryana. It used to be a part of two districts, Gurgaon and Faridabad. The people of Mewat felt that the area will get better attention if it were to become a separate district. But political parties were indifferent to this sentiment. The demand for a separate district was raised by Mewat Educational and Social Organisation and Mewat Saksharta Samiti in 1996. Later, Mewat Vikas Sabha was founded in 2000 and carried out a series of public awareness campaigns. This forced both the major parties, Congress and the Indian National Lok Dal, to announce their support for the new district before the assembly elections held in February 2005. The new district came into existence in July 2005.
