Question

ASSERTION : Rich peasants became enthusiastic supporters of the Civil Disobedience Movement, organising their communities and at times forcing reluctant members to participate in the boycott programmes. REASON: However, they were deeply happy when the movement was called off in 1931 with revenue rates being lowered​

Answer 1

Answer:

In the countryside, rich peasant communities – like the Patidars of Gujarat and the Jats of Uttar Pradesh – were active in the movement.

• Being producers of commercial crops, they were very hard hit by the trade depression and falling prices.

• As their cash income disappeared, they found it impossible to pay the government’s revenue demand.

• And the refusal of the government to reduce the revenue demand led to widespread resentment.

• These rich peasants became enthusiastic supporters of the Civil Disobedience Movement, organising their communities, and at times forcing reluctant members, to participate in the boycott programmes.

• For them the fight for swaraj was a struggle against high revenues
