Which of the following was the main objective of the ‘Eka movement’ in Awadh?

A.

Non-payment of taxes

B.

Protection of the rights of landlords

C.

Conversion of taxes into cash

D.

Opposition of the British Rule

Correct option is A

The Eka Movement (1921-22), which began in the Awadh region of Uttar Pradesh, was primarily a peasant movement aimed at protesting the oppressive tax system imposed by the British colonial administration. The peasants, under the leadership of Madari Pasi and supported by Congress leaders, refused to pay exorbitant land taxes and protested the exploitation by landlords (zamindars). While the movement initially focused on tax non-payment, it also opposed the British colonial policies that deepened the financial hardships of the peasants. This movement was closely related to the broader Non-Cooperation Movement but was unique in its focus on agrarian issues.
