Answers
Question - Why did the non co-operation movememt slow down in cities?
Answer-
In cities, the non-cooperation movement began with a lot of enthusiam. Teachers and students left schools , professors left colleges and lawyers dropped their law practice. People started to boycott mill cloth. This didn't go on for a long time because:-
- Khadi cloth was too expensive and not everyone could afford it.
- There were no alternative Indian institutions, thus all of them went back to their respective instiutions

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.
