Economic Issues
For Gandhi to get the attention of the government, there must’ve been a major imbalance in the economy so that the government knew that Gandhi and his followers were serious.
• Educational institutions were boycotted as part of the non-cooperation movement. Educational institutions made money for the Indian government because many wanted their kids to learn but because of the non-cooperation movements, it stopped the money flow from the educational institutions.
• Foreign goods were avoided like British products. People had alternatives by buying homespun clothing industries and making their own salt manufacturing businesses. Salt was a major part of the Indian lifestyle and was a major moneymaker; it being boycotted made a big impact on the economy.
• Transportation was also boycotted. They avoided buses and taxis to bring down their governments earnings with walking instead. Transportation was used a lot in India so when the major population avoided it, this created a big impact on the money that the government was earning.
