- The business classes supported the Civil Disobedience Movement when it was first launched.
- They gave financial assistance and refused to buy or sell imported goods.
- Most businessmen came to see Swaraj at a time when colonial restrictions on business would no longer exist and trade and industry would flourish without constraints.
- But after the failure of the Round Table Conference, business groups were no longer uniformly enthusiastic. So, when the movement was re-launched by Gandhiji, most of them withdrew their support.
- They were apprehensive of the spread of militant activities, and worried about prolonged disruption of business.
