Q. The movement that came to an abrupt end because of the Chauri Chaura incident was the
(a) Wahabi Movement
(b) Home rule movement
(c) Non-cooperation movement
(d) Civil Disobedience movement
Ans: (c) Non-cooperation movement
Explanation: The correct answer is (c) Non-cooperation movement.
The movement that came to an abrupt end because of the Chauri Chaura incident was the Non-cooperation movement. The Non-cooperation movement was a significant phase of the Indian independence movement led by Mahatma Gandhi in the early 1920s.
The Chauri Chaura incident occurred on February 5, 1922, in the town of Chauri Chaura in Uttar Pradesh, India. During a protest march, a group of protesters turned violent and attacked a police station, resulting in the death of 22 police officers. In response to this violent incident, Mahatma Gandhi called off the Non-cooperation movement, as he believed that non-violence was an essential principle of the movement, and the incident went against its core values.
The Non-cooperation movement aimed to boycott British institutions, courts, schools, and other symbols of British authority to assert Indian self-rule. However, after the Chauri Chaura incident, Gandhi suspended the movement, emphasizing the importance of non-violence in the struggle for independence and the need to maintain discipline among the protesters.
