Question

Name the place where the session of the Indian National Congress was held in September 1920.

Answer 1

Answer: Calcutta (now Kolkata).

Why this is important:

• The Special Session of the INC was convened at Calcutta in September 1920.
• It was here that the Congress, under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi, debated and approved the Non-Cooperation programme (aligned with the Khilafat movement) as a mass strategy against British rule.
• This decision marked a decisive shift from moderate constitutional methods to a nationwide mass movement.

Related follow-up (helps avoid confusion):

• Later the Nagpur Session (December 1920) reorganized Congress on a provincial (linguistic) basis and further consolidated the Non-Cooperation agenda.
