List all the different social groups which joined the Non Cooperation Movement of 1921. Then choose any three and write about their hopes and struggles to show why they joined the movement.

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.
