Which of the following Indian Nationalist Movement was withdrawn due to the incident of Chauri-Chaura?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Non-Cooperation Movement
On 4 February 1922, at Chauri Chaura near Gorakhpur in present-day Uttar Pradesh, a crowd of protesters set fire to a police station after the police fired on them, and 22 policemen were killed. Gandhiji held that the people were not yet ready for a non-violent struggle and, on 12 February 1922, called off the Non-Cooperation Movement he had launched in 1920.
