What actions did people take during the noncooperation movement?

During the noncooperation movement (1920–1922), Mahatma Gandhi organized a campaign of civil disobedience aimed at achieving self-government for India. To maintain the movement's commitment to nonviolence, participants engaged in the following actions:

• Resignation of Titles: Indians were encouraged to resign from positions and titles granted by the British government.1
• Boycotts: The movement involved widespread boycotts of government-run educational institutions, law courts, government services, elections, and foreign-made goods.1
• Tax Refusal: As the movement progressed, participants were called upon to refuse to pay taxes.1

This campaign marked a significant shift in Indian nationalism, moving it from a middle-class movement to a mass-based struggle. Gandhi ultimately called off the movement in February 1922 following a violent incident in Chauri Chaura, where a mob murdered police officers, as he remained steadfast in his principle that the struggle must remain nonviolent.1
