The Non-Cooperation Movement was suspended after which incident?

Correct answer: Chauri Chaura incident

The direct answer is D: the Non-Cooperation Movement was suspended after the Chauri Chaura incident. In February 1922, at Chauri Chaura in the United Provinces, a protest became violent and a police station was set on fire, causing the deaths of policemen. Mahatma Gandhi believed that a mass movement based on non-violence could not continue while participants were turning to violence, so the movement was withdrawn. Option D is correct. Option A, the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, helped create anger against British rule and influenced later politics, but it was not the event after which Non-Cooperation was suspended. Option B, the Dandi March, began the Civil Disobedience Movement in 1930, later. Option C, Simon Commission protests, occurred in 1928, after the withdrawal. Exam cue: Non-Cooperation, 1920–22; Chauri Chaura, 1922; withdrawal because of violence.
