Detailed Solution

The given statement is true.
The Awadh peasant revolt against landowners and talukdars is linked to the Non-Cooperation movement. Peasants resorted to violence in response to Gandhi's nonviolent approach. They stormed the homes of landlords and talukdars, looted bazaars, and seized over grain hoards. The local leaders stimulated additional members by ascribing Gandhiji's name. They disseminated the myth that Gandhiji told peasants not to pay taxes and that land owned by talukdars and landlords would be transferred to them. Because of Gandhi's popularity, his name was used to satisfy the aspirations of local leaders.
