Non-Cooperation Movement:

  • Noncooperation movement, an unsuccessful attempt in 1920–22, organized by Mohandas (Mahatma) Gandhi, to induce the British government of India to grant self-government, or swaraj, to India.
  • After a series of events including the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre, Gandhiji realised that there was no prospect of getting any fair treatment at the hands of the British, so he planned to withdraw the nation's cooperation from the British Government, thus launching the Non-Cooperation Movement.
  • The Non-cooperation movement failed and ended in 1922 after the Chauri Chaura incident.
