why did the Congress reluctant support the non cooperation movement of the peasants
Answers
Answer:
Gandhiji was convinced that it was the duty of women to look after the home, be good mothers and good wives. And for a long time, the Congress was reluctant to allow women to hold any position of authority within the organization. It was keen only on their symbolic presence.
Women participated in protest marches, manufactured salt, and picketed foreign cloth and liquor shops. Many went to jail.
In urban areas, these women were from high-caste families whereas in rural areas, they came from rich peasant households. Moved by Gandhiji’s call, they began to see service to the nation as a sacred duty of women. Yet, this increased public role did not necessarily mean any radical change in the way the position of women was visualized.
