The Non-Cooperation Movement was at its peak when news reached Gandhi of the Chauri Chaura tragedy on February 4, 1922. A group of protestors, provoked by police firing, attacked and burned a police outpost. Gandhi, who viewed Satyagraha as a strictly non-violent pursuit, felt that the movement was losing its moral character. Despite opposition from leaders like Nehru and C.R. Das, Gandhi unilaterally called off the agitation. He emphasized that he would rather be humiliated than lead a movement that had strayed from the path of truth and non-violence.
