a) Mention the different ways through which people participated in the NonCooperationMovement during 1921-22.b) Explain the circumstances under which Mahatma Gandhi decided to call off the Non-Cooperation Movement.c) State two effects of the boycott movement on foreign textile trade.

a) People participated in the Non-Cooperation Movement during 1921-22 in several ways:

1. Surrender of Titles: Many people surrendered their British titles and honors. They also boycotted British courts, schools, and offices.
2. Boycott of Foreign Goods: People boycotted foreign goods and promoted the use of Swadeshi (locally made) goods. This led to a significant decline in the import of foreign goods.
3. Non-payment of Taxes: Many farmers refused to pay taxes to the government.
4. Peaceful Protests: People participated in peaceful protests and processions against the British rule.

b) Mahatma Gandhi decided to call off the Non-Cooperation Movement due to the Chauri Chaura incident in 1922. In this incident, a violent mob set a police station on fire, leading to the death of 22 policemen. Gandhi was deeply disturbed by the violent turn of events as he was a staunch believer in non-violence. He felt that the people were not yet ready for mass struggles, and hence, he called off the movement.

c) The boycott movement had significant effects on foreign textile trade:

1. Decline in Imports: The boycott of foreign goods led to a significant decline in the import of foreign textiles. This was a major blow to the British textile industry.
2. Promotion of Indian Textiles: The boycott movement promoted the use of Indian textiles. This led to the growth of the Indian textile industry.
