Which of the following events took place in the United Provinces in February 1922?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Chauri Chaura.
In February 1922, the Chauri Chaura incident took place in the United Provinces (now Uttar Pradesh). During a protest against British rule, a group of protesters clashed with the police in Chauri Chaura, a town in Gorakhpur district. The situation escalated when the protesters set fire to a police station, killing 22 police officers. This event led Mahatma Gandhi to call off the Non-Cooperation Movement, as he believed the violence contradicted the principles of non-violence.
