classes and different social groups of Indians participated in the Civil

on account of their own needs, aspirations and limited understanding.

Patidars (Gujarat) and Jars in Uttar Pradesh were very hardly hit by the trade depression
and they participated in the Civil Disobedience Movement and supported the boycott
programmes.
(ii) The poor peasants also demanded that their dues of rent
should be remitted.
(iii) The business classes participated in the movement to
oppose the colonial policies that restricted business activities.
(iv) Some prominent industrialists supported the movement
financially and boycott the trading of foreign goods.
(v) The industrial working classes except the workers in Nagpur
region stayed away from this movement as big industrialists came closer to the

in the Nationalist Movement.
