Question 1 of 5
1. Question
2 points1. With reference to the Eka movement, consider the following statements:
1. The initial thrust for the movement developed under the leadership of Madari Pasi.
2. The movement gradually inclined towards Congress discipline of non- violence.
3. The movement included in its ranks many small zamindars.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?Correct
Answer: C
Explanation:
● The initial thrust for the movement was provided by Congress and Khilafat leaders and the movement grew under the name of the Eka or unity movement. The main grievances were related to the extraction of a rent that was generally fifty per cent higher than the recorded rent, the oppression of the kedars to whom the work of rent- collection was farmed out and the practice of share-rents. Hence, statement 1 is incorrect.
● The Eka Movement, however, soon developed its own grassroots leadership in the form of Madari Pasi and other low-caste leaders who were not particularly inclined to accept the discipline of non-violence that the Congress and Khilafat leaders urged. As a result, the movement’s contact with the nationalists diminished and it went its own way.Hence, statement 2 is incorrect.
● Unlike the earlier Kisan Sabha movement that was based almost solely on tenants, the Eka Movement included in its ranks many small zamindars who found themselves disenchanted with the Government because of its heavy land revenue demand. By March 1922, however, severe repression on the part of the authorities succeeded in bringing the Eka Movement to its end. Hence, statement 3 is correct.Incorrect
