cooperation movement which was next launched

Eshal: The Non-Cooperation Movement was a

significant campaign of nonviolent resistance
against British colonial rule in India. It was
launched by Mahatma Gandhi in 1920 as a
response to the Jallianwala Bagh massacre and
other oppressive British policies. The movement
called for Indians to refuse cooperation with the
British authorities, including boycotting
government institutions, educational facilities, and
British-made goods. It aimed to exert economic
and political pressure on the British administration
and foster a sense of national unity. The Non-
Cooperation Movement marked a turning point in
India's struggle for independence and paved the
way for future mass movements.

Eshal: But I guess I forgot who launched this

Movement.

Cooperation-Khilafat Movement was launched by
Mahatma Gandhi in collaboration with the leaders
of the Khilafat Movement, including Ali Brothers
(Mohammad Ali and Shaukat Ali). It began in 1920.
