In Awadh, peasants were led by Baba Ramchandra - a sanyasi who had earlier been to Fiji as an
indentured labourer. The movement here was against talukdars and landlords who demanded from
peasants exorbitantly high rents and a variety of other cesses. Peasants had to do beggar and work at
landlords' farms without any payment. As tenants they had no security of tenure, being regularly evicted
so that they could acquire no right over the leased land. The peasant movement demanded reduction
of revenue, abolition of beggars, and social boycott of oppressive landlords. In many places nai - dhobi
bandhs were organised by panchayats to deprive landlords of the services of even barbers and
washermen. In June 1920, Jawaharlal Nehru began going around the villages in Awadh, talking to
the villagers, and trying to understand their grievances. By October, the Oudh Kisan Sabha was set
up headed by Jawaharlal Nehru, Baba Ramchandra and a few others. Within a month, over 300
branches had been set up in the villages around the region.
