Detailed Solution

The assertion is true, but the Reason is false. Farmers were deeply disappointed when the Civil Disobedience Movement was withdrawn in 1931 without a review of income levels. They wanted the revenue levels to be reviewed and thus to be part of the movement but were badly hurt when they could not achieve the same. Therefore, the assertion is true, but the Reason is false. In rural areas, wealthy farming communities, such as the Patidars of Gujarat and the Jats of Uttar Pradesh, were active in the struggle. Commercial crop producers are particularly affected by trade pressures and falling prices. As their cash flow declined, they found it impossible to pay the government's demand. The government's refusal to reduce the demand for revenue led to an increase in anger. These wealthy farmers became zealous supporters of the Civil Disobedience Movement, organising their communities and sometimes forcing reluctant members to participate in the boycott. The swaraj fight was a struggle against high incomes for them.
