Chauri Chaura incident

👉On 1th August, 1920, Gandhiji had launched the Non-Cooperation Movement against the government.

👉It involved using swadeshi and boycotting of foreign goods, especially machine made cloth, and legal, educational and administrative institutions, “refusing to assist a ruler who misrules”.

👉The incident (4th February, 1922) occurred at Chauri Chaura in the Gorakhpur district of the United Province, (modern Uttar Pradesh) in British India.

👉During this incident, a large group of protesters, participating in the Non-cooperation movement, clashed with police, who opened fire.

👉The demonstrators attacked and set fire to a police station in retaliation, killing all of its occupants.

👉In response to this, Mahatma Gandhi, who was strictly against violence, halted the Non-cooperation Movement on the national level on 12 February 1922, as a direct result of this incident.
