Answer 1

Hii....
Here is ur answer...☺️

In Awadh, peasants were led by Baba Ramchandra – a sanyasi

The movement was against talukdars and landlords who demanded from peasants exorbitantly high rents and a variety of other cesses.

Peasants had to do begar and work at landlords’ farms without any payment.

The peasant movement demanded reduction of revenue, abolition of begar, and social boycott of oppressive landlords.

In many places nai – dhobi bandhs were organised by panchayats to deprive landlords of the services of even barbers and washermen.

In June 1920, Jawaharlal Nehru began going around the villages in Awadh

By October, the Oudh Kisan Sabha was set up headed by Jawaharlal Nehru, Baba Ramchandra and a few others.

•With in a month,over 300 branches had been set up in the villages around the region.

As the movement spread in 1921, the houses of talukdars and merchants were attacked, bazaars were looted, and grain hoards were taken over.

In many places local leaders told peasants that Gandhiji had declared that no taxes were to be paid and land was to be redistributed among the poor.

The name of the Mahatma was being invoked to sanction all action and aspirations.
