explain the difference between the participation of peasants in non cooperation movement and civil disobedience movement.
S.No | Participation of peasants in Non cooperation movement | Participation of peasants in Civil Disobedience movement |
1. | Peasant movement was against talukdars and landlords who demanded high rents from peasants | Peasants refused to pay revenue and chaukidhari taxes, as the demand for agricultural goods fell. This was the reason behind the participation of peasants in this movement |
2. | Peasants worked at landlords’ farms without any payment | Rich peasant communities were active in the movement as their cash income disappeared and they found it difficult to pay government’s growing revenue demand |
3. | Peasant movement demanded reduction of revenue, abolition of begar, and social boycott of oppressive landlords | The poor peasants wanted the unpaid rent to the landlord to be remitted |
