Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The Correct Answer is option 3 i.e. Chauri Chaura.

The Chauri Chaura incident occurred on February 5, 1922, in Uttar Pradesh, during the Non-Cooperation Movement led by Mahatma Gandhi.In response to police firing on protesting peasants, a mob set fire to the police station, resulting in the death of 22 policemen.Deeply disturbed by the violence, Gandhi called off the entire movement, emphasizing that the freedom struggle must remain non-violent.

 Incorrect Options:

  1. Dandi – Associated with the Salt March (1930), not the Non-Cooperation Movement.

  2. Kakori – Site of the Kakori Train Robbery (1925), related to the revolutionary activities of the HSRA, not peasants.

  3. Dhaka – Now in Bangladesh, not connected to the Chauri Chaura incident or police station burning in 1922.
