Rich peasant communities like Patidars and Jats initially joined the Civil Disobedience Movement as they were hard hit by falling prices and wanted the government's revenue demand reduced. However, when the movement was called off in 1931 without any revision of revenue rates, they were deeply disappointed. So when the movement was relaunched in 1932, many refused to participate.

The examiner wants you to clearly state two things: (1) why they joined initially — high revenues and trade depression; (2) why they refused in 1932 — disappointment over movement being withdrawn in 1931 without the revenue issue being resolved. Both points are necessary for full marks. Stick to the textbook reasoning; do not add outside information.
