Gandhi's Non-Cooperation Movement

Gandhi's Non-Cooperation Movement, launched in 1920, was a peaceful protest against British rule in India. It urged Indians to refuse cooperation with the British government—such as boycotting government schools, courts, and services—to demonstrate their desire for independence. The goal was to weaken British authority through nonviolent resistance, encouraging Indians to take pride in their own culture and economy. The movement marked a significant step in India’s struggle for independence, fostering unity and mass participation. It ultimately contributed to the decline of British control and inspired future civil disobedience efforts.
