The statement mentioned above is true. Baba Ramchandra spearheaded the peasants' struggle in Awadh. The protest was directed against talukdars and landlords who demanded hefty rent from the peasants. Peasants were forced to beg and work on landlords' farms for no pay. They had no security of tenure as tenants, being evicted regularly. Therefore, they had no right to the rented land. Thus the peasant movement demanded tax reduction, begar abolition, and a social boycott of repressive landlords. Panchayats organized
