From the time I became aware, I have witnessed numerous movements, however, I can assert that no other movement upturned the foundations of Indian society to the extent that the Non-Cooperation movement did . From the most humble huts to the high places, from villages to cities, everywhere there was a ferment, a loud echo . </P> <P> The success of the revolt was a total shock to British authorities and a massive encouragement to millions of Indian nationalists . Unity in the country was strengthened and many Indian schools and colleges were made . Indian goods were encouraged . </P> <P> On 5 February 1922 a clash took place at Chauri Chaura, a small town in the district of Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh . A police officer had attacked some volunteers picketing a liquor shop . A whole crowd of peasants that had gathered there went to the police chowki (pron. - chau key) (station). The mob set fire to the police chowki with some 22 police men inside it . </P>
