When their household goods and cattle were confiscated for non-payment of taxes, the peasants did not 46 feel deterred. Nor were they agitated even when their lands and houses were attached by the police. When these confiscated goods were to be auctioned there were no bidders. Even when some pro-British persons bought such auctioned goods, women Satyagrahis resorted to fast in front of the houses of such buyers. Nearly 2,500 people were imprisoned in Karnataka during the Civil Disobedience Movement, and of these about 100 were women. In May 1934, the movement was withdrawn.
