History of India, 1921 AD, Civil Disobedience Movement
In 1921, the Indian National Congress (INC) launched the Non-Cooperation Movement, also known as the Civil Disobedience Movement, to protest against British rule in India.
The leader of the movement was Mahatma Gandhi, who called for Indians to boycott British goods and services, and to resign from government jobs.
The movement was a success, with millions of people participating in protests, rallies, and other forms of civil disobedience.
One of the most famous protests was the Salt March, in which Gandhi and thousands of followers marched to the sea to make their own salt in defiance of the British salt tax.
Other forms of civil disobedience included picketing, refusal to pay taxes, and burning of foreign cloth.
The British government responded harshly to the movement, arresting thousands of protestors and imposing oppressive laws.
Despite the resistance, the Civil Disobedience Movement was a major step towards India's freedom from British rule.
