Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

The correct options are
A To fight against the high revenue demands of the government.
B To remit unpaid rent due to the landlords.

The peasant communities in India took part in the Civil Disobedience Movement. Certain rich peasant communities like the Patidars of Gujarat and the Jats of Uttar Pradesh were active in the movement. For them, the struggle for Swaraj was a struggle against high revenue. The poor peasants also demanded the revenue to be lowered and also wanted the unpaid rent to their landlords to be remitted.
