History of non-cooperation movement
The resolution of the non-cooperation movement was passed in September 1920 in the Kolkata session of the Indian National Congress, but before that such a resolution had been passed in Bihar and the nationalist had started non-cooperation with the government. On August 29, 1918, the Congress considered Montagu-Chelmsford at its Mumbai session, which was presided over by Hasan Imam, the famous barrister in Bihar.
Expressing dissatisfaction with the report at the convention, it was proposed to send a delegation led by Hasan Imam to England to put pressure on the British government. Meanwhile, some provisions of Rowlatt Act were used by the British Government to suppress the revolutionaries.
Against this black law, a mass movement broke out in the whole country under the leadership of Gandhiji. There was a strike in Bihar on 6th April, 1919. Mazharul Haque, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, Braj Kishore Prasad, Mohammad Rafi and other leaders withdrew their candidature from the legislature elections in the course of the non-cooperation movement.
Mahendra Prasad, Anugrah Narayan Singh and Brij Nandan Prasad etc. boycotted the courts. A National College was established on Patna-Gaya Road to provide alternative education to the students. Bihar Vidyapeeth was inaugurated on 6 February 1921 by Gandhiji in the same premises of this National College.
Mazharul Haque became its Chancellor, Braj Kishore Prasad became the Vice Chancellor and Dr Rajendra Prasad became the Principal of the college. On September 30, 1921, Mazharul Haque started bringing out a newspaper called The Motherland from Sadaqat Ashram.
On 22 December 1921, the Crown Prince of Britain arrived in Patna. On this day a strike was held in the entire city. The non-cooperation movement was at its peak that on February 5, 1922, Gandhiji suspended the movement as a result of the Chauri Chaura incident. After this Gandhiji was arrested on March 10, 1922. These events had an effect on Bihar also and the effect of non-cooperation movement started coming to an end.
Played a decisive role in awakening political consciousness in Bihar in Khilafat movement and non-cooperation movement. Bihar has now completely joined the mainstream of the national movement. The most widespread impact of the movement was seen in the erstwhile Muzaffarpur districts and Shahabad districts.
The towns of Ara, Gaya, Ranchi, Giridih, Munger, Kishanganj, and Purnia were also affected. Patna was its main center. A new consciousness also arose among the Muslims. In the non-cooperation of the British government, Maulana Sajjad in Phulwari Sharif formed the Imatre-Shariah organization, which is still active.
Its working area was Bihar and Orissa and through this arrangements were made by Muslims to take decisions and caution them in all religious and social matters without the help of government institutions.
