Abstract

The Non-Cooperation Movement was a significant episode in the Indian independence struggle initiated by Mahatma Gandhi in 1920. It aimed to resist British rule through nonviolent means including boycotts of British goods institutions and honors. The movement marked a pivotal shift in Indian political strategy fostering widespread public participation and mass mobilization against colonial rule. Sardar Patel a key figure in the movement played a crucial role in organizing and leading protests in Gujarat. His leadership was instrumental in mobilizing the rural population and managing the movements activities at the grassroots level. Patels efforts contributed to the spread of nationalist sentiments and strengthened the Indian National Congresss position against British authorities. His pragmatic approach and effective organizational skills were vital in sustaining the momentum of the movement despite challenges and repression from the colonial government.
