Question
What was the Eka movement?
Answer
The Eka Movement was a peasant movement that started in North West Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh in 1921-22. Local Congress leaders initiated the movement, but it was later led by radical leaders Madari Pasi and Sahrab. The movement aimed to address various issues faced by the farmers, such as the forced labour system, illegal taxation, and oppression by tax collectors and feudal lords. The government responded with ruthless oppression and arrested Madari Pasi in June 1922, ultimately suppressing the movement.
