Nationalism in India
Why did Non-Cooperation Movement slow down in towns?
The reasons were:
(i) Some leaders within Congress were reluctant to participate in Non-Cooperation Movement as they feared in might lead to popular violence.
(ii) Khadi cloth was more expensive than mass-produced mill cloth and poor people could not afford to buy it.
(iii)For the movement to be successful, alternate Indian institutions had to be set up so that they could be used in place of the British ones. These were slow to come up. So students and teachers began trickling back to government schools and lawyers joined back work in goverment courts.
