Solution
- Mahatma Gandhi returned to India in January 1915.
- Mahatma Gandhi believed that this dharma of non-violence could unite all Indians.
- From the cities, the Non-Cooperation Movement spread to the countryside. It drew into its fold the struggles of peasants and tribals.
- In Awadh, peasants were led by Baba Ramchandra – a sanyasi who had earlier been to Fiji as an indentured labourer.
- The movement here was against talukdars and landlords who demanded from peasants exorbitantly high rents and a variety of other cesses. Peasants had to do begar and work at landlords’ farms without any payment.
