FAQs about Gandhi's Early Movements, Rowlatt Act, Jallianwala Bagh, Khilafat and Non-Cooperation – GK Quiz with Answers – Level 2

Why did Gandhiji withdraw the Non-Cooperation Movement?
Gandhiji called off the movement after a violent clash at Chauri Chaura in Gorakhpur, where a crowd set fire to a police station. He felt people were not yet ready for a non-violent mass struggle.
What was the Rowlatt Act?
The Rowlatt Act was hurriedly passed by the Imperial Legislative Council despite the united opposition of its Indian members. It gave the government powers to repress political activity and allowed detention of political prisoners without trial for up to two years.
What was the Champaran satyagraha about?
The Champaran satyagraha in Bihar was Gandhiji's struggle on behalf of peasants against the oppressive plantation system that forced them to grow indigo.
What was the Khilafat Movement?
The Khilafat Movement aimed to defend the temporal powers of the Ottoman Khalifa after Ottoman Turkey's defeat in the First World War. Gandhiji linked it with Non-Cooperation to bring Hindus and Muslims together.
