Solution
Among the significant causes of this movement were codlin oppression exemplified by the Rowlatt Act and Jallianwala Bagh massacre, economic hardship to the common man due to large chunk of Indian wealth being exported to Britain, ruin, of Indian Artisans due to British factory-made goods replacing hand made goods, and popular resentment with the British over Indian soldiers dying in World War I while fighting as part of the British army, in battles that otherwise had nothing to do with India. The movement aimed to ensure that the colonial economic and power structure would be seriously challenged and British authorities would be forced to take notice of the people's demand.
