Question

Give reason that why did the rich peasant take part in the civil disobedience movement?

Answer 1

Answer:

Rich peasant communities participated in Civil Disobedience Movement because they were not satisfied with the revenue demanding by the government. That's why Patidars of Gujarat and Jats of Uttar Pradesh participated and opposed the high revenue demands of the government.

Answer 2

The rich peasant communities of Gujarat (Patidars)

and Uttar Pradesh (Jats) participated actively in the

relaunched Civil Disobedience movement but they 5

were highly disappointed when Gandhiji called off the

movement without revising the revenue rates.

These rich peasants were the main producers of

the commercial crops. Due to the trade depression,

falling prices and disappeared cash income they were

not able to pay the revenue and also the government

refused to reduce the revenue. Their notion for Swaraj

struggle was basically a struggle against high revenue

paid to the government.
