How was opposition to begar in the Awadh peasant movement linked with the national movement?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The struggle against local exploitation was linked with the hope of swaraj
Begar meant forced labour without proper payment and was experienced by peasants as a direct form of local oppression. The national movement’s idea of swaraj was interpreted in Awadh through these everyday experiences: freedom would mean not only ending colonial rule but also escaping exploitative landlord practices. Therefore option A best explains the connection. Options B and C approve the very practice peasants resisted, while D falsely attributes support for begar to Congress.
