Which incident prompted Mahatma Gandhi to suspend the Non-Cooperation Movement in 1922?
Chauri Chaura incident
The Non-Cooperation Movement was launched by Mahatma Gandhi in 1920 on the principle of strict non-violence.
On 5 February 1922, at Chauri Chaura in Gorakhpur district (now Uttar Pradesh), a crowd of protesters set fire to the police station, and about 22 policemen were killed.
Disturbed by this violence, Gandhi called off the movement, and the Congress Working Committee formally suspended it at Bardoli on 12 February 1922.
The Simon Commission arrived in 1928, long after the movement ended.
The Jallianwala Bagh massacre of 13 April 1919 was one of the causes that led to the movement, not the reason for its withdrawal.
The Bardoli Satyagraha of 1928 was a peasants' no-tax campaign led by Vallabhbhai Patel.
Hence, the answer is Chauri Chaura incident.
