Explanation:
Eka Movement Towards the end of 1921, peasant discontent surfaced again in the districts of Hardoi, Bahraich and Sitapur, with grievances relating to the extraction of a rent that was generally 50 percent higher than the recorded rent. Congress and Khilafat leaders provided the initial thrust to the peasant grievances and the movement grew under the name Eka or unity movement. With grass-root leadership not in favour of non- violence taking over the movement, the authorities succeeded in bringing it to an end. The Kisan movements were also over shadowed by the Non-Cooperation Movement in UP.
Kisan Sabhas
The initiative to organize peasants into KisanSabhas was taken by the active members of Home Rule League in UP - Gauri Shankar Misra, IndraNarainDwivedi supported by Madan Mohan Malviya. The UP KisanSabha, set up in 1918, had established 450 branches in 173 tehsils of the province by mid-1919. In the mid-1920, Baba Ramchandra emerged as the leader of peasants in Avadh and led a few hundred tenants from Jaunpur and Pratapgarh districts to Allahabad and apprised Jawaharlal Nehru of the conditions of the peasants. Nehru made several visits to the rural areas and developed close contacts with the KisanSabha Movement.
Late 1920 saw the setting up of an alternative AwadhKisanSabha at Pratapgarh with the efforts of Jawaharlal Nehru, Mata BadalPande, Baba Ram Chandra, Dev Narayan Pande, and KedarNath bringing under its umbrella over 330 KisanSabhas. The Sabha exhorted peasants to refuse to till bedakhali land; not to offer har and beggar (forms of unpaid labour), boycott those who did not accept these conditions and to solve their disputes through panchayats. In 1921, the nature of peasant movement underwent a marked change with peasants indulging in looting of bazaars, houses, granaries and clashes with the police. The Government easily suppressed these outbreaks of violence. It passed the Awadh Rent (Amendment) Act which though brought little relief to the tenants, was instrumental in the gradual decline of the movement
