The movement started with middle-class participation in the cities.

Madras, where the Justice Party, the party of the non-Brahmans, felt 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 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.

21.1 Explain the role of ‘Justice Party’ in boycotting of council
elections. 1

21.2 How was the effects of ‘non-cooperation on the economic front’
dramatic? 1

34. Read the sources given below and answer the questions that follow :
Source A - Production across countries
Until the middle of the twentieth century, production was largely
organised within countries. What crossed the boundaries of these
countries were raw material, food stuff and finished products. Colonies
such as India exported raw materials and food stuff and imported finished
goods. Trade was the main channel connecting distant countries. This was
before large companies called multinational corporations (MNCs)
emerged on the scene.
Source B - Foreign trade and integration of markets
Foreign trade creates an opportunity for the producers to reach beyond the
domestic markets, i.e., markets of their own countries. Producers can sell
their produce not only in markets located within the country but can also
compete in markets located in other countries of the world. Similarly, for
the buyers, import of goods produced in another country is one way of
expanding the choice of goods beyond what is domestically produced.

Source C - Impact of globalisation in India
Globalisation and greater competition among producers – both local and
foreign producers – has been of advantage to consumers, particularly the
well-off sections in the urban areas. There is greater choice before these
consumers who now enjoy improved quality and lower prices for several
products. As a result, these people today, enjoy much higher standards of
living than was possible earlier.
