1) In the country side, rich peasant communities like the Patidars of Gujarat, and Jats of Uttar Pradesh were active in the movement
2) 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.
3) And the refusal of 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.
4) For them, the fight for Swaraj was a struggle against high revenues. Business classes related Civil Disobedience movement in a different way. During the First World War, Indian merchants and industrialists had made huge profits and became powerful.
5) Keen on expanding their business, they now reacted against colonial policies that restricted business activities. They wanted protection against imports of foreign goods and to organise business interests, they formed the Indian Industrial and Commercial Congress in 1920 and the Federation of Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industries (FICCI) in 1927.
6) Led by prominent industrialists, like Purshottamdas Thakurdas and G. D. Birla, the industrialists attacked colonial control over Indian economy and supported Civil Disobedience movement.
7) The industrial working classes did not participate in the Civil Disobedience movement in large numbers except in Nagpur region. As the industrialists came closer to the Congress, workers stayed aloof.
8) But inspite of that some workers did participate in Civil Disobedience movement selectively adopting some of the ideas of the Gandhian programme, like boycott of foreign goods, as part of their own movement against low wages and poor working conditions.
9) There was large scale participation of women also in Civil Disobedience movement. During Gandhiji’s salt march, thousands of women came out of their homes to listen to him. They participated in protest marches, manufactured salt and picketed foreign cloth and liquor shops.
10) Moved by Gandhiji’s call they began to see service to the nation as a sacred duty of women.
