Detailed Solution

Mahatma Gandhi was the leader of Non-Cooperation, which was the outcome of the Congress session at Nagpur in 1920. One of Gandhi's first planned large-scale acts of collective disobedience took place during this time (satyagraha). The development took place during a political earthquake that shook the subcontinent. Despite fierce Indian resistance, the British Raj's burdensomeness, as evidenced by its passage of the Rowlatt Acts (1919), encouraged English-driven savagery in Punjab, most notably the massacre at Amritsar in April 1919, which resulted in the deaths of several hundred Indians. This only strengthened the belief that Indian self-government was imperative. Anger at the government's alleged failure to take significant action against those capable, including Gen. Reginald Dyer, who had given orders to the soldiers involved in the massacre, added insult to injury. At the Congress meeting held in Nagpur in December 1920, the non-cooperation programme received approval.
