Question

What were the reasons for different classes and social groups for participation in civil disobedience movement

Answer 1

⚽RICH PEASANTS-
They were landlords or taulakdars who were already suffering from the economic depression and were not able to pay the tax to the government. That is why they joined the movement to pressurize government to free some tax.

⚽POOR PEASANTS-
They lived as tenants and have to pay rents to their master. Because of Economic depression they were not able pay tax. So they joined the movement to remmit the unpaid rest.
People of congress thought that helping poor peasants will upset the rich landlords so they were unwilling to support them.

⚽BIG BUSSINESSMEN-
They were having problem for free market as they have to pass through a number of custom dues. So to get free market they joined the movement.

⚽WORKERS-
As bussinessmen were with congress workers participatio was uncertain but still some workers joing for lowering the wage and for better working atmosphere. Congress were unwilling to support them also.

⚽WOMEN-
They thought that participation in this movement is there sacred duty.

Answer 2

Different social groups in the CDM

 Rich peasants-like patidars of Gujarat and jats of U. P were active in the

movement. They were hard hit by trade depression, their cash income

disappeared and they found impossible to pay the revenue. For them the

fight for swaraj was a struggle against high revenues.

 Poor Peasantry- The small tenants found the revenue difficult to pay. They

wanted unpaid rent to the landlord to be remitted.

 Business group-they reacted against colonial policies that restricted business

activities. They gave financial assistance and refused to buy or sell imported

goods. Most businessmen came to see swaraj as a time when colonial

restrictions on business would no longer exist and trade and industry would

flourish without constraints.

 Industrial working class-they did not participated in large numbers, except

in Nagpur where their participation was quiet strong adopting some of the

Gandhian programme, like boycott of foreign goods, as part of their own

movements against low wages and poor working conditions.

 Women-they participated in large numbers, participated in protest marches,

manufactured salt picketed foreign cloth and liquor shops. Many went to jail.
