Question

Name the social groups which joined the non cooperation movement of 1921. How did they interpret the idea of swaraj

Answer 1

$\mathfrak{\huge{Answer}}$

The middle class joined the Non-cooperation in 1921. The main social groups were Students, working class ( the lawyers and teachers ), and the merchants and traders. Even the council elections were boycotted throughout the country, except Madras, where the Justice Party, the party of Non-Brahmins, refused to boycott the elections. The students left their schools and institutions, the lawyers and the teachers left the British jobs, and the merchants and traders refused to trade in foreign goods. For the merchants and traders, Swaraj meant a conditions when the colonial rule wouldn't exist any longer, and their trade could go without any obstacle.

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer: The different social groups that joined the Non-Cooperation Movement of 1921 were the urban middle class comprising lawyers, teachers, and headmasters, students, peasants, tribals and workers.

The middle class joined the movement because the boycott of foreign goods would make the sale of their textiles and handlooms go up.

The peasants took part in the movement because they hoped they would be saved from the oppressive landlords, high taxes taken by the colonial government abolition of begar and variety of other cesses.

The tribals employed guerrilla tactics to fight the British in some parts of India, the Gudem rebels attacked police stations & attempted to kill British officials. Means they were inspired by the Gandhiji but were not keen to follow nonviolent ways of struggle

Plantation workers took part in the agitation hoping they would get the right to move freely in and outside the plantations, maintain a link with the village they had come from and get land in their own villages.
