V. Read the following passage and answer the questions.
In the countryside, rich peasant communities – like the Patidars of Gujarat and the Jats
of Uttar Pradesh – were active in the movement. Being producers of commercial crops,
they were very hard hit by the trade depression and falling prices. As their cash income
disappeared, they found it impossible to pay the government’s revenue demand. And
the refusal of the government to reduce the revenue demand led to widespread
resentment. These rich peasants became enthusiastic supporters of the Civil
Disobedience Movement, organising their communities, and at times forcing reluctant
members, to participate in the boycott programmes. For them the fight for

swaraj was a struggle against high revenues. But they were deeply disappointed when
the movement was called off in 1931 without the revenue rates being revised. So when
the movement was restarted in 1932, many of them refused to participate. The poorer
peasantry were not just interested in the lowering of the revenue demand. Many of
them were small tenants cultivating land they had rented from landlords. As the
Depression continued and cash incomes dwindled, the small tenants found it difficult to
pay their rent. They wanted the unpaid rent to the landlord to be remitted. They joined
a variety of radical movements, often led by Socialists and Communists. Apprehensive of
raising issues that might upset the rich peasants and landlords, the Congress was
unwilling to support ‘no rent’ campaigns in most places. So the relationship between the
poor peasants and the Congress remained uncertain.
