The following were the different social groups who
participated in the Civil Disobedience Movement with
different objectives:
a. The rich peasants were not able to pay the revenue
due to the trade depression, falling prices and
disappeared cash income and also the government
refused to reduce the revenue. Their notion for
Swaraj struggle was basically a struggle against
high revenue.
b. For the poor peasantry groups, the meaning of Swaraj was lowering the revenue demand and also
they wanted the unpaid rent to be remitted.
c. The Indian merchants and the industrialists
started opposing the colonial policies which
restricted their business to expand. They had
two demands — protection against the import of
foreign goods and a favorable exchange ratio of
rupee and sterling.
d. Some of the industrial workers participated in the
Civil Disobedience Movement were the Nagpur
industrial workers as part of their own movement
against the low wages and the poor working
conditions in the industries.
e. In the year 1930 and 1932, the railway workers
and the dock workers went on strike. The
Chhotanagpur tin mines workers also protested
in rallies wearing Gandhian caps and boycotted
the campaigns.
f. Women also participated in large scale in the Civil
Disobedience Movement during the Salt March by
Gandhiji. They belonged to the high caste families
from the urban areas and rich peasant households
from the rural areas. For them it was a sacred
duty to serve the nation.
