Mention any two causes that led to the Non-Cooperation Movement.





Non-cooperation movement, organized by Mahatma Gandhi in 1920–22, to induce the British government of India to grant self-government, or swaraj, to India. It was one of Gandhi's first organized acts of large-scale civil disobedience (satyagraha).

Here are the two main causes that led to the Non-Cooperation Movement. They are as following,

(1) Khilafat issue: The Khilafat movement (1919-1924) was an agitation by Indian Muslims allied with Indian nationalism in the years following World War I. Its purpose was to pressure the British government to preserve the authority of the Ottoman Sultan as Caliph of Islam following the breakup of the Ottoman Empire at the end of the war.
(2) The economic condition of the country post -world war I had become alarming.
(3) The Rowlatt act and the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre exposed the brutal face of foreignrule.
