Non- cooperation movement: 1 August 1920 Mahatma Gandhi started the non-cooperation movement. This time Gandhiji urged the people that those who want to end Indian colonialism should not go to schools, colleges and courts nor pay taxes. Gandhiji believed that it was impossible to get a fair justice in British hands, so he planned to withdraw the support of the nation from the British government and thus the Non-Cooperation Movement was started.
Quit India Movement: Gandhiji started the 'Quit India Movement' in 1942. Decided to launch a "do or die" mass civil disobedience movement to force the British to leave India. On the evening of 8 August 1942, the slogan 'British Quit India' was given at the Bombay session of the All India Congress Committee in Bombay. However Gandhiji was immediately arrested.
