<P> Gandhi was horrified . He lost all faith in the goodness of the British government and declared that it would be a "sin" to cooperate with the "satanic" government . </P> <P> The movement was undertaken to (a) restore the status of the ruler of Turkey; (b) to avenge the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre and other violence in Punjab; and (c) to secure Swaraj (independence) for India . Gandhi promised Swaraj in one year if his Non Cooperation programme was fully implemented . The other reason to start the non-cooperation movement was that Gandhi lost faith in constitutional methods and turned from cooperator of British rule to non-cooperator . </P> <P> Other causes include economic hardships to the common man, which the nationalists attributed to the flow of Indian wealth to Britain, the ruin of Indian artisans due to British factory - made goods replacing handmade goods, and resentment with the British government over Indian soldiers dying in World War I while fighting as part of the British Army . </P> <P> The calls of early political leaders like Bal Gangadhar Tilak (Congress Extremists) were called major public meetings . They resulted in disorder or obstruction of government services . The British took them very seriously and imprisoned him in mandale in Burma and sent Savarkar to Andaman and V.O. Chidambaram Pillai Got 40 years imprisonment . The non-cooperation movement aimed to challenge the colonial economic and power structure, and British authorities would be forced to take notice of the demands of the independence movement . </P>
