The consumer movement arose due to the following factors
(i) Dissatisfaction of consumers, as many unfair practices were being indulged by the sellers like short weighing, black marketing, adulteration, etc.
(ii) There was no legal system available for consumers to protect them from exploitation in the marketplace.
If consumers were not happy with a particular brand, product or shop, they generally avoid buying that brand or product or would stop purchasing from that particular shop.
(iii) It was presumed that it was the responsibility of consumers to be careful while buying a commodity or availing of a service.
Evolution of Consumer Movement The Consumer Movement in India started as a social force with the need to protect consumers against unfair and unethical trade practices being followed by many retailers and manufacturers.
These included creating artificial shortages, hoarding cereals and other agricultural products, black marketing of goods and adulteration of cooking oils and food items.
Till 1986, consumer organisations were highlighting issues by writing articles in newspapers and magazines about these bad practices of merchants. But nowadays, as the consumers have become more aware, the number of consumer groups have grown who have highlighted these malpractices. In 1986, the Government of India enacted the Consumer Protection Act, also known as COPRA. This was a major step in the Consumer Movement in India.

Swaraj meant different things to different people.
1) Middle classes in cities- For the middle classes in cities, the call of Swaraj led to boycott of government institutions. In towns, the movement was relatively peaceful. Students, teachers and headmasters left schools and colleges while lawyers quit their legal practices. The council elections were boycotted in most provinces. Foreign goods and clothes were boycotted and burnt, while liquor shops were picketed. Swaraj, in this sense, meant economic independence. The businessmen also refused to sell foreign goods. However, the movement slowed down gradually due to lack of alternatives.
2) For the peasants and tribals, Swaraj meant not only freedom from British rule, but also from exploitation at the hands of landlords. Peasants were charged exorbitant rent and were forced into bonded labour. Hence they organised themselves and demanded the reduction of revenue and abolition of beggar or bonded labour. In the countryside, the movement often showed streaks of violence, with houses of merchants being attacked. The tribals began guerilla resistance movements as they had been deprived of access to forest and its resources. These movements did not entirely follow the path of Congress. However, they were an integral part of the national struggle, giving it much needed strength.

Gomasthas were the officials of the East India Company. They were mainly recruited to supervise, collect supplies and check the quality of cloth woven by the Indian weavers.
But, there were frequent clashes between the Indian weavers and gomasthas because of the following reasons:
1. Gomasthas were very arrogant. They even beat the Indian weavers and whipped them. They came with sepoys.
2. The weavers were paid meager prices for their goods. They could not bargain for their costs. They were not able to sell it to other different buyers instead.
3. Moreover, the Gomasthas were outsiders. Earlier, the brokers were the people who lived in the same villages as the weavers, took care of them and helped them when they were in need. But these Gomasthas punished the weavers if there is any delay in supply.
4. The East India company gave loans to the weavers to purchase the raw materials while placing the order. The loans that were taken by the Indian weavers from the East India Company put them in a pitiable situation that they had to give their finished goods to Gomasthas who punished them for the delay in supply.
Thus, the appointment of Gomasthas led to clashes.
