Solution

The reason for calling off the Non-Cooperation Movement by Gandhiji was the Chauri-Chaura incident.

Here's a step-by-step explanation:

  1. The Non-Cooperation Movement was a significant phase of the Indian independence movement from British rule. It was led by Mahatma Gandhi and was marked by a refusal to cooperate with British policies and institutions.

  2. The Chauri-Chaura incident took place on 5th February 1922 in the Chauri-Chaura locality of Gorakhpur district in Uttar Pradesh. A large group of protesters, participating in the Non-Cooperation Movement, clashed with police who opened fire.

  3. In retaliation, the demonstrators attacked and set fire to a police station, resulting in the deaths of 22 policemen.

  4. Gandhi, who was strictly against violence, was deeply disturbed by the incident. He felt the movement deviated from its path of non-violence and people were not yet ready for mass agitation.

  5. As a result, he decided to call off the Non-Cooperation Movement on 12th February 1922. This decision was primarily due to the Chauri-Chaura incident, not his arrest, pressure from the British government, or the Round Table Conference.
