Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Rich peasants like the Patidars of Gujarat and the Jats of Uttar Pradesh supported the Civil Disobedience Movement because they saw the fight for swaraj as a struggle against high revenues. They were heavily struck by the trade crisis and falling prices because they grew commercial crops. As their cash flow dried up, they couldn't meet the government's demand for revenue. Additionally, they resented the government's refusal to lower the revenue demand. These wealthy peasants enthusiastically joined the Civil Disobedience Movement, organising their villages and occasionally compelling reluctant members to participate in boycotts. Hence, the statement is false.
