Question 4 of 5
4. Question
1 pointsWhich of the statement is correct in the context of Chauri Chaura’ Incident?
1. It started with a protest against the visit of the Simon Commission to India
2. Lord Minto was the viceroy of India when the incident took placeSelect the correct answer using the option below:
Correct
Explanation:
Background
In the early 1920s, Indians, led by Mahatma Gandhi, were engaged in a nationwide non-cooperation movement.
Using non-violent methods of civil disobedience known as Satyagraha, protests were organised by the INC to challenge oppressive regulations such as the Rowlatt Act.
Course of the incident
Two days before the incident, on 2 February 1922, volunteers participating in the Non-cooperation Movement led by a retired Army soldier named Bhagwan Ahir.
The protest was planned against high food prices and liquor sale in the marketplace.
Several of the leaders were arrested and put in the lock-up at the Chauri Chaura police station.
In response to this, a protest against the police was called on 4 February, to be held at the local marketplace.
Infuriated by the gunfire into their ranks, the crowd set the chowki ablaze, killing all of the Indian policemen and other staff trapped inside.
Aftermath
Appalled at the outrage, Gandhi went on a five-day fast as penance for what he perceived as his culpability in the bloodshed.
In reflection, Gandhi felt that he had acted too hastily in encouraging people to revolt against the British Raj without sufficiently emphasizing the importance of non-violence.
On 12 February 1922, the Indian National Congress halted the Non-co-operation Movement on the national level as a direct result of the Chauri Chaura tragedy.Incorrect
