Question

why did the industrial owners become active in civil disobedience movement in india ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The industrial worker class did not participate in the Civil Disobedience Movement in large numbers, except in the Nagpur region. As the industrialists came closer to the congress, workers stayed aloof. But in spite of that, some workers did participate in the Civil Disobedience Movement, selectively adopting some of the ideas of the Gandhian program, like boycott of foreign goods, as part of their own movements against low wages and poor working conditions. There were strikes by railway workers in 1930 and dockworkers in 1932. In 1930 thousands of workers in Chotanagpur tin mines wore Gandhian caps and participated in protest rallies and boycott campaigns. But the Congress was reluctant to include workers' demands as part of its program of struggle. It felt that it would alienate industrialists and divide the anti - imperial forces.
