Question

How did non cooperation movement spread to the country side and drew into its fold struggles of peasants and tribal communities?

Answer 1

*Peasants had to do begar and work at landlord's farms without any payment.
*Baba Ramchandra and Jawaharlal Nehru together setup the Oudh Kisan Sabha.
*The peasants then demanded abolition of begar system.
*They attacked the houses of talukdars and merchants and bazaars we're looted.
*They misused Gandhiji's power and declared that no taxes were to be paid and land was to be redistributed among the poor.
*In tribal areas, the idea of non cooperation was interpreted in another way.
*Alluri Sitaram Raju said that he had special powers: make correct astrological predictions and heal people and even survive bullet shots.
*He used non violent ways and was finally captured and executed.
