Impact of non cooperation movement in towns and cities
Answers
Non cooperation movement was practiced with full enthusiasm and zeal initially in the Urban cities and towns by people who looked up to Gandhi and his methods of agitation. Since Gandhi infused new energy in the nationalist struggle , converting it into a mass movement, people found new ways of venting their voice and dissent.
a.There was surrender of titles.
b.Boycott of schools and colleges
c.The council elections were boycotted.
d.Foreign goods were burnt, liquor shops were picketed
e.People discarded foreign cloth and encouraged the use of khadi
But the movement started fizzling out as hand made goods, khadi were expensive and poor could not afford it. Like wise, there were no alternative Indian institutions to cater to students and teachers.
