CONSTRUCTIVE WORK BY NO-CHANGERS
Young men and women worked among tribals and lower caste in Ashrams.
Students were trained in a non colonial ideological framework in National school and colleges.
For Hindu-Muslim unity, removing untouchability, boycott of foreign cloth and liquor and for flood relief, significant work was done.
The backbone of civil disobedience movement was served by the constructive workers who acted as active organisers.
The basic strategy of the nationalist leadership was questioned with the sudden withdrawal of the Non Cooperation Movement. Younger Nationalists were drawn to the idea of violent methods to free India because they were not attracted to the parliamentary work of the Swarajists or to the patient, undramatic constructive work of the No Changers. This marked the revival of revolutionary terrorism.
During this period, two separate strands of revolutionary groups namely the Punjab-UP-Bihar Group and the Bengal group emerged.
The revolutionary terrorism was enhanced by the novels and books such as Bandi Jivan by Sachin Sanyal and Pather Dabi by Sharatchandra Chatterjee.
