The different social groups that joined the NonCooperation Movement of 1921
were the urban middle class comprising lawyers, teachers and headmasters, students,
peasants, tribals and workers.
→ The middle class joined the movement because the boycott
of foreign goods would make the sale of their textiles and
handlooms go up.
→ The peasants took part in the movement because they hoped
they would be saved from the oppressive landlords, high taxes
taken by the colonial government.
→ Plantation workers took part in the agitation hoping they
would get the right to move freely in and outside the plantations
and get land in their own villages.
