How was the effects of non-cooperation on the economic front dramatic?
Dear student,
Regards.
- The effects of non-cooperation on the economic front were more dramatic.
- Foreign goods were prohibited, liquor shops enclosed, and foreign cloth burnt in huge bonfires.
- The import of foreign cloth halved between 1921 and 1922, its value dropping from Rs. 102 crore to Rs. 57 crore.
- 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.
Regards.
