Describe any three major problems faced by the peasants of Awadh in the days of Non-Cooperation movement.

Answer:

In the days of Non-Cooperation Movement, the peasants of Awadh faced a lot of problems. Those were:

(i) Talukdars   and   landlords   demanded exorbitantly high rents and a variety of other taxes from the peasants.

(ii) Peasants had to do begar (labour without any payment) and work at landlord?s farms.

(iii) As tenants, the peasants had no security of tenure, they were being regularly evicted so that they could not acquire any right over the leased land.

Thus, the peasant movement in Awadh demanded reduction of revenue, abolition of begar and social boycott of oppressive landlords.
