Explain the course of non cooperation movement in the towns

Answered by admin @



The movement started with middle-class participation in the cities.Thousands of students left government-controlled schools andcolleges, headmasters and teachers resigned, and lawyers gave uptheir legal practices. The council elections were boycotted in mostprovinces except Madras, where the Justice Party, the party of thenon-Brahmans, felt that entering the council was one way of gainingsome power – something that usually only Brahmans had access to.The effects of non-cooperation on the economic front were moredramatic. Foreign goods were boycotted, liquor shops picketed,and foreign cloth burnt in huge bonfires. The import of foreigncloth halved between 1921 and 1922, its value dropping fromRs 102 crore to Rs 57 crore. In many places merchants and tradersrefused to trade in foreign goods or finance foreign trade. As theboycott movement spread, and people began discarding importedclothes and wearing only Indian ones, production of Indian textilemills and handlooms went up.But this movement in the cities gradually slowed down for a varietyof reasons. Khadi cloth was often more expensive than mass-produced mill cloth and poor people could not afford to buy it.How then could they boycott mill cloth for too long? Similarly theboycott of British institutions posed a problem. For the movementto be successful, alternative Indian institutions had to be set upso that they could be used in place of the British ones. These wereslow to come up. So students and teachers began tricklingback to government schools and lawyers joined back work ingovernment courts.
