The first reform movement started in the 19th century was the "Bharatiya Samaj Sudhar Sabha". It was established in 1814 by Raja Rammohan Roy. This movement was organized to encourage various social and cultural reforms in the Indian society.
"Quit India Movement" was started in the month of August in 1942 AD. This movement is also called "freedom movement". Its main goal was to achieve complete independence of India from the British rule. Mahatma Gandhi led this movement and he gave the slogan "Quit India" on 8 August 1942.
The Khilafat Movement was organized by the Indian Muslims in the 1920s. The main objective of this movement was to fight against the British Government in support of the Turkish Sultan and Khalifa in the matter of Khilafat.
The Non-cooperation movement started in the decade of 1920 AD. This movement was organized by Gandhiji on the basis of the proposals of the Nehru Report. The main objective of this movement was to strengthen the demand for Indian independence through agitation, non-cooperation, and non-violence against the British government.
Gandhiji had withdrawn the non-cooperation movement in 1922 AD. The reason for this was the Chauri Chowkdi incident which took place on 5 February 1922 in Varanasi. In this incident an innocent British officer was killed and after this an appeal was made to withdraw the non-cooperation movement.
