When did non-cooperation movement slow down and why? |
|
Answer» Three important reasons why the non-cooperation movement gradually slowed down in the cities are as follows:\t\xa0Whereas mill cloth was cheap due to mass production, khadi cloth was expensive. Hence, the urban poor couldn’t abstain from using mill cloth for too long.\t\xa0Alternative Indian institutions were slow to come up. As a result the non-cooperating Indians ultimately had to go back to British institutions.\t\xa0As a result, the students started attending government schools again and lawyers joined back in government courts. The Non-Cooperation Movement slowed down in the cities for various reasons like:\tKhadi cloth was often more expensive than mass-produced mill cloth and poor people could not afford to buy it. So people could not boycott mill cloth for very long.\tThe boycott of British institutions posed a problem\xa0as there were no alternative national institutions to fulfil\xa0educational needs.\tThe students and teachers trickled to government schools. The lawyers joined government courts\tWith all these, the enthusiasm of people in the cities lost their force. |
