Question

Why did non cooperation movement gradually slow down in cities explain?

Answer 1

Answer: Three important reasons why the non-cooperation movement gradually slowed down in the cities are as follows: Whereas mill cloth was cheap due to mass production, khadi cloth was expensive. Hence, the urban poor couldn't abstain from using mill cloth for too long.

Answer 2

The Non-Cooperation Movement slowed down in the cities for various reasons.

 Khadi cloth was often more expensive than mass-produced mill cloth and poor people could

not afford to buy it. So people could not boycott mill cloth for very long.

 Similarly boycotting British institutions also posed a problem as there were no alternative

national institutions to fulfil the educational needs.

 The students and teachers trickled to government schools. The lawyers joined government

courts.

With all these, the enthusiasm of people in the cities lost its force.
