Question
How did the ‘Non-Cooperation Movement’ spread in cities across the country? Explain its effects on the economic front
Advertisements
Solution
The Non-Cooperation Movement began and spread rapidly in the cities and towns across India. Many Indian students left government schools and colleges on a large scale. Teachers and headmasters on government payroll resigned from their jobs and lawyers gave up their practice en masse. The council elections too were boycotted in most of the provinces of British India.
The Non-Cooperation Movement majorly affected the British economic interests in India. Between 1921 and 1922, the value of imported foreign cloth went down from 102 crores to 57 crores. Merchants and traders even refused to trade in imported goods or provide finance for foreign trade. As a result of all this, the Indian textile and handlooms sector witnessed a major boom.
