Q. Why did Gandhiji stop the Non- Cooperation Movement?
(a) Because of Gandhi-lrwin Pact
(b) Because the mob turned violent
(c) Because he was ordered to do so by the Britishers
(d) Because he did not like to continue the movement
Ans: (b) Because the mob turned violent
Explanation: Gandhiji stopped the Non-Cooperation Movement primarily due to option (b) the outbreak of violence by the mob. The Non-Cooperation Movement was a mass civil disobedience campaign launched by Mahatma Gandhi in 1920, with the objective of resisting British rule in India. However, when a violent incident occurred in Chauri Chaura, Uttar Pradesh, where a mob attacked and killed police officers, Gandhi called off the movement. He believed that non-violence was a fundamental principle of the movement, and the violent incident went against that principle. Consequently, Gandhi suspended the Non-Cooperation Movement as a means to maintain non-violence and discipline within the movement.
