The Noncooperation Movement of 1920-22, led by Mahatma Gandhi,
challenged every aspect of British rule in India. It was supported
by people from all levels of the social hierarchy and united Hindus
and Muslims in a way never again achieved by Indian nationalists.
It was remarkably nonviolent. In all, it was one of the major mass
protests of modern times. Yet there are almost no accounts of the
entire movement, although many aspects of it have been covered by
local-level studies. This volume both brings together and builds on
these studies, looking at fractious all-India debates over
strategy; the major grievances that drove local-level campaigns;
the ways leaders braided together these streams of protest within a
nationalist agenda; and the distinctive features of popular
nonviolence for a righteous cause. David Hardiman's previous
volume, The Nonviolent Struggle for Indian Freedom, examined the
history of nonviolent resistance in the Indian nationalist
movement. The present volume takes his study forward to examine the
culmination of this first surge of struggle. While the campaign of
1920-22 did not achieve its desired objective of immediate
self-rule, it did succeed in shaking to the core the authority of
the British in India.
