In February 1922, Mahatma Gandhi decided to withdraw from the Non-Cooperation Movement. He felt the movements were turning violent in many places and satyagrahis needed to be properly trained before they would be ready for mass struggles. Within the Congress, some leaders were by now tired of mass struggles and wanted to participate in elections to the provincial councils that had been set up by the Government of India Act of 1919. They felt that it was important to oppose British policies within the councils, argue for reform, and also demonstrate that these councils were not truly democratic. C. R. Das and Motilal Nehru formed the Swaraj Party within Congress to argue for a return to council politics. But younger leaders like Jawaharlal Nehru and Subhas Chandra Bose pressed for more radial mass agitation and for full independence.
In such a situation of internal debate and dissension, two factors again shaped Indian politics in the late 1920s. The first was the effect of the worldwide economic depression. Agricultural prices began to fall in 1926 and collapsed after 1930. As the demand for agricultural goods fell and exports declined, peasants, found it difficult to sell their harvests and pay their revenue. By 1930, the countryside was in turmoil.
