Going back into history…  Chauri Chaura Incident happened today….

Chauri Chaura incident occurred at Chauri Chaura in Gorakhpur district of United Province, British India ( Now in Uttar Pradesh) on 4th February 1922, when a large group of protesters participating in the Non-cooperation movement turned violent, leading to police opening fire and in retaliation the burning of police station. The incident led to several deaths of both civilians and police. The Indian National Congress halted the Non-cooperation Movement on the national level as a direct result of this incident.
