Q. Which among the following movements during the freedom struggle of India were abruptly withdrawn due to violence?
  1. Non-cooperation Movement
  2. Civil Disobedience Movement
  3. Quit India Movement
Select the correct option from the codes given below:

Answer: Only 1
Notes:
  1. The Non-Cooperation Movement (Option 1) was abruptly withdrawn by Gandhi after the Chauri Chaura incident in 1922, where a mob set a police station on fire killing many police officers. Gandhi withdrew the movement due to the violence, so Option 1 is correct.
  2. The Civil Disobedience Movement (Option 2) did see some sporadic violence, but Gandhi did not withdraw the movement because of it. So Option 2 is incorrect.
  3. The Quit India Movement (Option 3) also witnessed widespread violence and repression, but Gandhi did not withdraw the call for this movement. It continued until India's independence in 1947. So Option 3 is incorrect.
