describe civil disobedience movement & role of rich & poor in this movement
Dear Student
The following were the main features of the Civil Disobedience movement:
a) The people refused to obey unjust laws. Gandhi led the Dandi March and broke the unjust salt tax law as a challenge to the British Government.
b) Foreign cloth was boycotted and liquor shops were picketed. Peasants refused to pay revenue and taxes. People also broke the forest laws.
c) Schools, colleges and government offices and institutions were boycotted.
d) There was large- scale arrest of people and leaders who participated in the Civil Disobedience Movement.
Role of rich people:The rich merchants and industrialists joined the movement to protest against colonial policies that restricted business activities. They wanted protection against import of foreign goods and wanted removal of trade barriers and wanted to expand their businesses.
The rich peasants became enthusiastic supporters of the Civil Disobedience Movement, organising their communities, and at times forcing reluctant members, to participate in the boycott programmes.
Role of poor people: Many of the poor peasants were small tenants . They cultivate land which they had rented from landlords, They wanted the unpaid rent to the landlord to be remitted.
Regards
