Question

Why did rich peasants took part in civil disobedience movement?

Answer 1

Because  the poor people are not cooperating with them and the rate of field goods is very low

Answer 2

(i) Being producers of commercial crops, they were very hard hit by the trade depression and falling prices.
(ii) As their cash income disappeared, they found it impossible to pay the government’s revenue demand.
(iii) The government refused to reduce the revenue demand. This led to widespread resentment among the rich peasants, and they enthusiastically supported the movement.
