Why Gandhiji decided to withdraw the non cooperation movement?
Share
Mahatma Gandhi withdrew the Non-Cooperation Movement in 1922 due to the violent incident at Chauri Chaura, Uttar Pradesh, where protesters clashed with police, leading to deaths. Concerned about the movement’s lack of discipline and fearing further violence, Gandhi, adhering to his principle of non-violence, halted the movement to prevent unrest and bloodshed among the masses.
He felt the movement was turning violent in many places and satyagrahis needed to be properly trained before they would be ready for mass struggles. Within the Congress, some leaders were by now tired of mass struggles and wanted to participate in elections to the provincial councils that had been set up by the Government of India Act of 1919. They felt that it was important to oppose British policies within the councils, argue for reform and also demonstrate that these councils were not truly democratic. C. R. Das and Motilal Nehru formed the Swaraj Party within the Congress to argue for a return to council politics. But younger leaders like Jawaharlal Nehru and Subhas Chandra Bose pressed for more radical mass agitation and for full independence.
