Social Science — CBSE Class 10 board question

The Non-Co-operation Movement had the following effects on the Indian economy:

1. Boycott of foreign goods: People boycotted imported foreign cloth and goods, which reduced the demand for British products and hurt British trade.

1. Revival of Indian industries: The boycott of foreign cloth encouraged the use of khadi and Indian-made goods, giving a boost to Indian cottage industries and handloom weavers.

1. Disruption of trade: Merchants and traders refused to trade in foreign goods and boycotted British firms, disrupting normal economic activity and causing financial losses to British businesses in India.

Note: This question is from History (Chapter 3 – Nationalism in India), but the source passages provided are from Economics chapters and are unrelated. The answer above is based on standard CBSE textbook content for this topic.

Key examiner expectations:

• Name three distinct effects clearly.
• Use terms like boycott, khadi, cottage industries — these fetch marks.
• Each point should be concise (one sentence explanation after the heading).
• Avoid mixing up the Non-Co-operation Movement with economic reforms/globalisation.
