Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
Begar was a system in which tenants were required to serve for free on the landlord's farm. These destitute peasants used to be subjected to hefty rent and other demands from landlords and talukdars. The peasants were regularly evicted because they lacked the security of tenure and had no legal claim to the rented land. The establishment of the Oudh/Awadh Kisan Sabha called for the abolition of the begar system, a decrease in revenue, and a boycott of the tyrannical landlords.
The correct statement would be that the term "begar" refers to forced labour without payment.
