How did peasants of Awadh connect the Non-Cooperation Movement with their local problems?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: They hoped for relief from rent, begar and landlord exploitation
Awadh peasants faced high rents, insecure tenancy, illegal dues and begar, or forced unpaid labour, under landlords and their agents. When they heard the language of swaraj and Non-Cooperation, many connected it with relief from these immediate rural burdens. Their interpretation therefore gave the national movement a specific local meaning. Option A is correct. The other options support colonial institutions or foreign goods and contradict the peasants’ grievances.
