Question

Mention three reasons for which the rich peasant communities took active participation in the Civil Disobedience Movement.

Answer 1

Three reasons because of which rich peasant communities took active participation in the civil disobedience movement were:

• Being producers of commercial crops, rich peasants were badly hit by trade depression and falling prices.
• As their cash income disappeared, the peasants found it extremely difficult to pay the government’s revenue demand. 
• The refusal of the government to reduce the revenue demand led to widespread anger and resentment.
