The Non-Cooperation Movement

The Non-Cooperation Movement was a significant campaign in India led by Mahatma Gandhi in response to British colonial rule. Launched in 1920, it encouraged Indians to withdraw support from British institutions, including schools, courts, and government services, promoting self-reliance and civil disobedience. The movement sought to unify Indians against colonial injustices following events like the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. Although it faced challenges and was called off in 1922 after violent outbreaks, it marked a pivotal moment in India's struggle for independence, fostering a sense of national identity and laying the groundwork for future movements.
