Correct Answer - Option 3 : 2
The correct answer is 2.
Beginning of Non-Cooperation:
- By the repressive measures of the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre and the denial of justice, Gandhi observed that “the only effective means to vindicate national honour and to prevent a repetition of the wrongs in future is the establishment of Swaraj”.
- Consequently, the non-co-operation campaign was inaugurated by Mahatma Gandhi on 1st August, 1919.
- The Movement was initiated in support of the Khilafat Movement.
Withdrawal of Non-Cooperation Movement:
- In February 1922, at Chauri Chaura, Uttar Pradesh, twenty two policemen were brutally killed by the violent mob after the conflict between the mob and the policemen of the Thana.
- The news shocked Gandhi too much. Not happy with the increasingly violent trend of the movement, he immediately announced the withdrawal of the movement.
- Most of the nationalist leaders including C.R. Das, Motilal Nehru, Subhash Bose, Jawaharlal Nehru, however, expressed their disagreement at Gandhi’s decision to withdraw the movement.
- In March 1922, Gandhi was arrested and sentenced to six years in jail.
