Question

Why did the poor peasants join the civil disobedience movement?why were they not happy with their participation?

Answer 1

Explanation:

• The poor peasants had their own problems.
• They were not just interested in lowering of the revenue, but also demanded remission of rent which they had failed to pay during the depression years.
• In some parts of the country, they launched a ‘no rent’ campaign which was not supported by the Congress because this might had upset the rich peasants and landlords.
• These poor peasants joined a variety of radical movements, often led by Socialists and Communists. So the relationship between the poor peasants and the Congress remained uncertain.
