The Non-Cooperation Movement was a significant phase of the Indian independence movement from British rule. It was led by Mahatma Gandhi and was supported by the Indian National Congress. Its main aim was to resist British rule in India through non-violent means, or simply "non-cooperation". The movement spanned across different regions of India, each participating in their unique ways.

1. North India: In Awadh, peasants were led by Baba Ramchandra where a 'Bhartiya' party was set up to fight for lower rents, against begar (forced labor without payment), and social boycotts of oppressive landlords. In Sind and Bengal, Khilafat and Non-Cooperation movements were merged together.

2. Gujarat: In Kheda, Gujarat, Patidar peasants organized non-violent campaigns against the high land revenue demand of the British.

3. South India: In the Guntur district of Andhra Pradesh, tribals and peasants revolted against the British under the leadership of Alluri Sitaram Raju. He talked of the greatness of traditional practices and Gandhiji's ideals.

4. Assam: In Assam, tea garden laborers demanded a significant wage increase and the right to move freely out of the confined space of the tea gardens.

5. Punjab: In Punjab, Akali agitation of the Sikhs sought to remove corrupt Mahants – supported by the British – from their gurdwaras.

6. Central India: In the tribal belt of Central India, the movement was against begar, which was quite prevalent in these areas.

Each region had its unique way of participating in the Non-Cooperation Movement, but the common thread was the use of non-violent means to resist British rule.
