Statement I is false. The Oudh Kisan Sabha was established in October 1920, partly in response to the feeling that the existing UP Kisan Sabha was dominated by moderates. Its primary aim was precisely to bring the numerous local Kisan Sabhas in Oudh under a unified leadership and banner, which it largely succeeded in doing initially, significantly expanding the peasant movement’s reach. Statement II is true. A key aspect of the Oudh Kisan Sabha’s demands and calls to action included asking peasants to resist exploitative landlord practices such as refusing to cultivate ‘bedakhli’ (land from which tenants were illegally evicted) and refusing to perform ‘hari’ and ‘begar’ (forms of forced labour).

The Oudh Kisan Sabha was formed to unify peasant movements and actively campaigned against landlord exploitation.

Leaders like Jawaharlal Nehru, Baba Ram Chandra, and Madari Pasi were involved in the Oudh peasant movement. Despite initial success, the movement faced internal divisions and government repression.
