As per the official records of the British, 350 people died in the massacre, but Congress claimed the number was as high as 1,000 people. It was this event that prompted the start of the Non-Cooperation Movement.
The Indian National Army (also known as the Azad Hind Fauj) was a military organisation founded in 1942 by Indian nationalists with the support of the Imperial Japanese Army to guarantee India's independence.
During the launch of the movement, the Father of the Nation delivered a speech and gave a call for ‘do or die’ at the Bombay session of the Congress at the Gowalia Tank Maidan.
The Non-Cooperation Movement was begun after several incidents, notably the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre. It was put on hold due to the Chauri Chaura incident in 1922.
