Question

Role of Assam in non cooperation movement?

Answer 1

Answer:

From Assam, plantation workers at tea farms participated in the NON-COOPERATION movement.

For plantation workers in Assam, freedom meant the right to move freely in and out of the confined space in which they were enclosed, and it meant retaining a link with the village from which they had come from. When they heard of the NON-COOPERATION movement, thousands of workers defied the authorities, left the plantations and headed home. They believed that Gandhi Raj was coming and everyone would be given land in their own villages. They, however, never reached their destination. Stranded on the way by a railway and steamer strike, they were caught up by the police and were brutally beaten.
