The Non-Cooperation Movement (1920–1922) led by Mahatma Gandhi was one of the first mass movements against British colonial rule. It sought to boycott British goods, institutions, and elections, and encouraged the revival of Indian handicrafts. The movement drew support from across India but was suspended after the Chauri Chaura incident in 1922, where violent clashes between protestors and police occurred. Despite its early suspension, the movement set the stage for subsequent campaigns of civil disobedience.
