The peasants in Awadh made a demand to reduce the revenue, the emancipation of begar system and social boycott of tyrannical landowners.
They were supervised by Baba Ram Chandra; a Sanyasi. This was the movement against the Talukdars and the Landlords of Awadh. Due to the increasing demand for revenue, the farmers had to perform begar and had to toil on the land of the landlord without any payment. Thus they organized themselves in peasant group and began demanding a reduction in the land revenue. An assembly known as the Oudh Kisan Sabha was introduced to support the action by Jawaharlal Nehru, Baba Ram Chandra and some others.
