Why Did the Industrialists Participate in the Civil Disobedience Movement? Explain Any Three Reasons.

The three reasons due to which the industrialists participated in the movement were:

The Indian merchants and the industrialist became rich and powerful due to huge profits they made during the First World War.

Thus they started opposing the colonial policies which restricted their business to expand. They had two demands – protection against the import of foreign goods and a favorable exchange ratio of rupee and sterling.
