Question

explain the role of peasants in the civil disobedience movement​

Answer 1

Answer:

the countryside, rich farmer associations like the Patidars of Gujarat and the Jats belonging to the region of Uttar Pradesh have participated in the campaign.

The farmers participated in the movement because being generators of economic crops, they were badly affected due to trade inflation and falling rates. As their cash earnings sank, they found it difficult to settle the government’s revenue demand.

And the opposition of the government to decrease the revenue demand led to extensive resentment. These rich farmers became concerned advocates of the Civil Disobedience Movement, establishing their communities, and at events forcing unwilling members, to cooperate in the boycott programmes. For peasants, the fight for Swaraj was a conflict corresponding to high revenues imposed by the British government

Answer 2

Answer:

The role of the “peasant” in any “movement” or revolution is to be cannon fodder to be manipulated by the Intellectuals who formulate the agenda to fulfill *their* political aims. There are always “elites” - most often intellectuals - who are behind the scenes pulling the strings, and these are the ones who will set themselves up with the power and access to the best resources when the changes fought and died for by the peasants become reality. A Herd is still a Herd, no matter who leads it.
