Correct Answer:

Chauri Chaura incidence

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 2- Chauri Chaura incidence

After the Chauri Chaura incidence, Mahatma Gandhi called off the Non-Cooperation Movement.

The Non-Cooperation Movement was a mass civil disobedience movement led by Mahatma Gandhi in British India between 1920 and 1922, in an attempt to induce the British to grant self-government, swaraj. It was a success in terms of mobilizing millions of Indians in anti-British protests and activities. However, it was also marked by violence, including the Chauri Chaura incident.

On February 4, 1922, a mob of protesters attacked a police station in Chauri Chaura, Uttar Pradesh, killing 22 policemen. Gandhi was shocked by the violence, and he called off the Non-Cooperation Movement on February 12, 1922.

The Chauri Chaura incident was a turning point in the Non-Cooperation Movement. It showed Gandhi that the movement was getting out of control, and he was worried that it would lead to widespread violence. He also felt that the movement was not ready for success, and that more time was needed to educate and organize the Indian people.

The Non-Cooperation Movement was a significant event in the Indian independence movement. It showed the British that the Indian people were serious about demanding self-government, and it helped to raise awareness of the Indian independence movement around the world.
