The "Nagpur Session" CorrectionThe December 1920 Nagpur Session was a landmark in Indian history because:The Congress goal changed from seeking "Self-Government through constitutional means" to seeking "Swaraj through peaceful and legitimate means."The organizational structure of Congress was revamped (creation of Provincial Congress Committees on a linguistic basis) to make it a mass-based party.Key Features of the Non-Cooperation Movement (1920–1922)The movement was the first truly mass-scale struggle against British rule, launched in response to the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre, the Rowlatt Act, and the Khilafat Issue.The Three-Tier Boycott Program:Educational: Boycott of government-run schools and colleges (leading to the birth of National Universities like Kashi Vidyapeeth and Jamia Millia Islamia).Legal: Boycott of law courts by lawyers (including leaders like Motilal Nehru, C.R. Das, and Sardar Patel).Political: Boycott of the upcoming elections under the Government of India Act 1919.End of the MovementThe movement was abruptly called off by Mahatma Gandhi in February 1922 following the Chauri Chaura incident, where a peaceful procession turned violent and burned a police station, killing 22 policemen.
