Here Is Ur Answer...

The effects of non- cooperation.

  • Foreign Goods were boycotted, liquor shops picketed, & foreign clothes were burned.
  • In many areas, traders & merchants refused to trade in foreign Goods & sometimes even they refused to finance foreign trade.
  • As the boycott movement spread, people used only Indian clothes & began to discard foreign clothes. As a result, production of Indian textile mills & handloom went up.

The reasons behind the unsuccess of non- cooperation movement in urban areas.

  • People could not boycott British institutions completely because there were very less or no Indian institutions were they could work.
  • People could not boycott mill clothes for long because they could not afford Khadi Clothes, Khadi was much expensive compared to mill clothes.

Answer:

The Non-Cooperation movement started with middle-class participation in the cities. Thousands of students left government-controlled schools and colleges, headmasters and teachers resigned, and lawyers gave up their legal practices. The council elections were boycotted in most provinces except Madras, where the Justice Party, the party of the non-Brahmans, felt that entering the council was one way of gaining some power; something that usually only Brahmans had access to.

The effects of non-cooperation on the economic front were more dramatic. Foreign goods were boycotted, liquor shops picketed, and foreign cloth burnt in huge bonfires. The import of foreign cloth halved between 1921 and 1922, its value dropping from Rs 102 crore to Rs 57 crore. In many places, merchants and traders refused to trade in foreign goods or finance foreign trade. As the boycott movement spread, and people began discarding imported clothes and wearing only Indian ones, production of Indian textile mills and handlooms went up.

(i) Khadi cloth was often more expensive than mass produced mill cloth and poor people could not afford to buy it.

(ii) The boycott of British institutions posed a problem.

(iii) For the movement to be successful, alternative Indian institutions had to be set up so that they could be used in place of the British ones.

(iv) These institutions were slow to come up. So students and teachers began trickling back to government schools and lawyers joined back work in government courts.
