The call for ‘renunciation of (all) voluntary associations with the (British) Government’ was given during the Non-Cooperation Movement.
– The Non-Cooperation Movement (1920-1922) was launched by Mahatma Gandhi following events like the Jallianwala Bagh massacre and the Rowlatt Act.
– A key objective of this movement was to withdraw Indian cooperation from the British government as a form of peaceful protest against their rule.
– The program included the surrender of titles and honorary offices, resignation from nominated posts in local bodies, boycott of government and government-aided schools and colleges, boycott of law courts, boycott of foreign goods, and renunciation of government services and participation in elections.
The Civil Disobedience Movement (1930-1934) involved breaking specific laws, such as the Salt Law. The Quit India Movement (1942) was a call for immediate British withdrawal from India. The protest against the partition of Bengal (1905) involved Swadeshi and Boycott movements, but the comprehensive call for renouncing all voluntary associations was characteristic of the Non-Cooperation Movement.
