The first non-cooperation movement was held in 1814 at Palna (Bihar). The officials ordered lashings and came down heavy on the people. When they felt that the people could not be tamed by physical force and they started the method of 'divide and rule'. The government enhanced the salary of higher officials like dewan, etc., and asked them to show loyalty to the British government.
