Mahatma Gandhi called off the Non-Cooperation Movement after the violent incident at Chauri Chaura. In which present-day state is Chauri Chaura located?

Explanation

The Chauri Chaura incident (1922) took place in Chauri Chaura town, which is located in the present-day state of Uttar Pradesh.

It was a major turning point in India’s freedom struggle because:

• A protest turned violent when a police station was set on fire
• Several policemen were killed
• In response, Mahatma Gandhi suspended the Non-Cooperation Movement on 12 February 1922, as he believed the movement had become violent and was losing its non-violent (Ahimsa) character

चौरी चौरा घटना (1922) वर्तमान में उत्तर प्रदेश राज्य के चौरी चौरा नगर में हुई थी।

यह घटना स्वतंत्रता संग्राम का एक महत्वपूर्ण मोड़ थी क्योंकि:

• प्रदर्शन के दौरान पुलिस थाने में आग लगा दी गई
• कई पुलिसकर्मियों की मृत्यु हो गई
• इसके बाद महात्मा गांधी ने 12 फरवरी 1922 को असहयोग आंदोलन वापस ले लिया, क्योंकि आंदोलन में हिंसा शामिल हो गई थी
