-Yet the Raj controlled production and taxed it.
The Civil Disobedience gained more traction when Gandhi was sent to prison.

-Bombay was a no go area for the police.
-Students to middle class businessmen became involved. (women in particular became involved). By Nov 1930 360 women were in jail.

In 1930 60,000 Indians had passed through the prisons which put a stress on the authorities and caused overcrowding in prisons.
