AAwadh

BMysore

CJodhpur

DHyderabad

Answer:

A. Awadh

Read Explanation:

The peasant movement in Awadh

  • It was led by Baba Ram Chandra, a sanyasi who had earlier worked in Fiji as an indentured labourer. Hence, Option 1 is correct.

  • The movement here was against talukdars who were also known as landlords who demanded high rents from the peasants.

  • Jawaharlal Nehru mobilized the villages and formed Oudh Kisan Sabha. Within 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.

  • Peasants started the protest because they had to work for long hours without any payment. In many places, nai-dhobi(barbers and washermen) bandhs were organized to deprive landlords of the services of even washermen and barbers.

  • Peasants had to beg and work at landlord's farms without any payments.

  • As tenants, they had no security of tenure and were regularly evicted so that they had no right over the leased land.

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