The title given by the British Government to Mahatma Gandhi which he surrendered during the Non-Cooperation movement was Kaiser-e-Hind.
Non-cooperation Movement (1920 AD-1922 AD):
- At the Calcutta session in September 1920 AD, Congress resolved in favour of the Non-cooperation Movement and defined Swaraj as its ultimate aim.
- The movement envisaged:
- Surrender of titles and honorary offices and resignation nominated offices
- Refusal to attend government darbars and official functions and boycott of British courts by the lawyers
- Refusal of the general public to offer themselves for military and other government jobs and boycott of foreign goods, etc.
- Apart from the educational boycott, there was a boycott of law courts, which saw major lawyers like Motilal Nehru, C.R. Das, C. Rajagopalachari, Saifuddin Kitchlu, Vallabhbhai Patel, Aruna Asaf Ali, etc. giving up their lucrative practices in their fields.
Mahatma Gandhi was awarded Kaisar-i-Hind title for raising an Indian Ambulance Corp during the Boer wars.
