Which peasant movement in Punjab was closely linked with the Ghadar Party?

Babbar Akali Movement
Kuka Movement
Akali Movement
Kirti Kisan Party

The correct answer is: a) Babbar Akali Movement

The Babbar Akali Movement was a peasant movement in Punjab that was closely linked with the Ghadar Party. The movement was started in the early 1920s by a group of young Akalis who were dissatisfied with the Akali Dal’s moderate approach to the British Raj. The Babbar Akalis were inspired by the Ghadar Party’s revolutionary ideology and they adopted a more militant approach to the struggle for independence.

The Babbar Akalis carried out a series of attacks on British officials and property. They also assassinated several British officials. The British government responded by launching a crackdown on the Babbar Akalis. Many Babbar Akalis were arrested and executed. However, the movement continued until the early 1930s.

The Babbar Akali Movement was a significant event in the history of the Indian independence movement. It showed that the Indian people were willing to fight for their freedom, even if it meant resorting to violence. The movement also helped to unite the different sections of the Indian society against the British Raj.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • The Kuka Movement was a religious movement that was started in the early 19th century. It was not closely linked with the Ghadar Party.
  • The Akali Movement was a religious and political movement that was started in the late 19th century. It was not closely linked with the Ghadar Party.
  • The Kirti Kisan Party was a peasant and workers’ party that was started in the early 20th century. It was not closely linked with the Ghadar Party.
