Why was the Non-Cooperation Movement not only political but also economic?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because it included boycott of foreign goods and promotion of swadeshi
The movement was political because it challenged colonial institutions, but it was also economic because people were urged to boycott foreign goods and promote swadeshi production. This affected imports, consumption and the market for Indian goods. Contesting only elections, raising British taxes or distributing foreign cloth for free does not describe the movement’s economic programme. Hence option A is correct.
