Answer
It was launched in 1920 in protest against the Jallianwala Bagh massacre and the Rowlatt Act, the failure to redress the Khilafat grievance, and the refusal of self-government. Indians were asked to surrender titles and honours, boycott legislatures, courts, schools and foreign goods, and to promote khadi, national schools and Hindu-Muslim unity.
