Q.

Read the given extract/source/passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:


The Non-Cooperation-Khilafat Movement began in January 1921 and started with middle-class participation in the cities. Thousands of students left government-controlled schools and colleges, headmasters and teachers resigned, and lawyers gave up their legal practices. The council elections were boycotted in most provinces except Madras, where the Justice Party, the party of the non-Brahmans, felt that entering the council was one way of gaining some power-something that usually only Brahmans had access to. The effects of non-cooperation on the economic front were more dramatic. Foreign goods were boycotted, liquor shops picketed, and foreign cloth burnt in huge bonfires. The import of foreign cloth halved between 1921 and 1922, its value dropping from 102 crores to 57 crores. In many places, merchants and traders refused to trade in foreign goods or finance foreign trade. As the boycott movement spread, and people began discarding imported clothes and wearing only Indian ones, production of Indian textile mills and handlooms went up.

Detailed Solution

The Justice party did not boycott the council elections held in the year 1921. During the Non-Cooperation movement, the main reason for boycotting foreign goods was that they were seen as a symbol of western economic and cultural domination. The movement was joined by many children, teachers, and lawyers. Everyone came out in support of the movement and raised their voice against the British Raj. As a result, the council elections were boycotted everywhere except for Madras. In Madras, the Justice Party, the party of the non-Brahmans, felt that this was the only chance for them to attain some power, which only Brahmans enjoy. Therefore, in the council elections of Madras, where the Justice Party was in power, they did not boycott the elections.
