(a) Of Chauri Chaura incident
(b) Government accepted the demands of Indian leaders
(c) Of repressive measures adopted by the government
(d) None of these
Ans: (a) Of Chauri Chaura incident
Explanation: The Non-Cooperation Movement was called off by Gandhiji because of option (a) the Chauri Chaura incident. The Non-Cooperation Movement was a mass civil disobedience campaign launched by Mahatma Gandhi in 1920 as a part of India’s struggle for independence from British rule. However, in 1922, a violent incident took place in Chauri Chaura, Uttar Pradesh, where a mob attacked and killed police officers. This act of violence went against Gandhi’s principles of non-violence and non-cooperation. In response, Gandhiji called off the movement, realizing that the movement had lost its non-violent character and needed to be suspended to maintain discipline and non-violent resistance as its core principles.
