Answer» The Gandhian Era represented a special time in Indian history when Gandhi was preaching for freedom and all of India was behind him in support. In 1919 the British government passed an Act call the Rowlatt Act. This act allowed people to be imprisoned without a trial or conviction in a court of law. This act was strongly protested against by all the Indian people and as a result it broke into a huge massacre in Jallianwala Bagh. The main reason for this protest was to terrorize the people. Later on in 1920 Gandhi set up and let set up what was known as the non-cooperation movement. This started out when Indians decided they didn't like the way British made them say "sir" as an honorary title. As a result of this boycotts broke out again legislation, elections and any thing relating to the government. Indians began to burn the clothes of the British and soon khadi became a symbol for their freedom. This movment was an overall success |
