Detailed Solution

Levy of high revenue tax was the reason for the participation of the rich peasants in the civil
disobedience movement.
The rich peasants participated in the Civil Disobedience Movement in 1930 because they were upset with the British' levy of high revenue taxes. The rich peasants mostly produced cash or commercial crops, and the economic depression and falling prices worsened the condition of the rich peasant classes. The government levied heavy revenue, and with the falling cash income, they could not meet the revenue demand of the government. This resulted in the widespread enthusiastic participation of the rich peasant class in the Civil disobedience movement.
