The Non-Cooperation Movement was launched by Mahatma Gandhi in August 1920, in response to the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre and the Rowlatt Act.

The movement was eventually called off in 1922 after the Chauri Chaura incident.

PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) was founded in 1980 by Ingrid Newkirk and Alex Pacheco in the United States. It has grown to become the world's largest animal rights organization.

August 1947 dates relate to independence, not constitutional implementation.
