what type of people participated in Cvil disobedience movement?
Answers
(i) Rich peasants : Being producers of commercial crops, they were very hard hit by the trade depression and falling prices. As the government refused to reduce revenue demands, they in great numbers participated in the boycott programmes. For them, the fight for Swaraj was a struggle against high revenues.
(ii) Women : The women participated in protest marches, manufactured salt and picketed foreign cloth and liquor shops. Many went to jail. They began to see service to the nation as a sacred duty of women.
(iii) Business class : A large number of merchants and industrialists supported this movement. They reacted against colonial policies that restricted their business activities. They wanted protection against imports of foreign goods.
(iv) The industrial working class : The industrial working class did not participate in the Civil Disobedience Movement in large numbers except in Nagpur. They selectively adopted some of the ideas of Gandhian programme, like boycott of foreign goods, as part of their own movements against low wages and poor working conditions.
Not all communities participate in the Civil Disobedience Movement. There are 2 rich communities that participated in the Civil Disobedience Movement (C.D.M)
#) In Rural areas,
The Indian land owners wanted the Indian National Congress (INC) to put forward their demand of reducing the Land Revenue while the tenants wanted even the land owners to reduce the rent on the houses as the INC could take both it had first selected the land owners as they promised them that they would participate in large numbers.
#) In Urban Areas,
The Industrialists wanted the Britishers to remove the trade restrictions as they did for the World War 1. For the INC they were supporting with funds so that they could organize meeting hence the INC without any choice but to take their demand. While the Industrial Workers wanted the the company to them more wages as the INC had already taken up the demand of the Industrialists it could not take the forward the demand of the workers.
Hence in the C.D.M many different social groups did not participate.
During the Salt March many women from the richer communities had also joined because they just wanted to hear what was said by Gandhiji.
