Explanation: Eka Movement: ? Towards the end of 1921, peasant discontent resurfaced in some northern districts of the United Provinces – Hardoi, Bahraich, Sitapur. ? The issues involved were: (i) high rents – 50 per cent higher than the recorded rates; (ii) oppression of thikadars in charge of revenue collection; and (iii) practice of sharerents. ? The grassroot leadership of the Eka Movement came from Madari Pasi and other low-caste leaders, and many small zamindars. By March 1922, severe repression by authorities brought the movement to an end. The Eka meetings were marked by a religious ritual in which a hole that represented River Ganga was dug in the ground and filled with water, a priest was brought in to preside and assembled peasants vowed that they would pay only recorded rent but pay it on time, would not leave when ejected, would refuse to do forced labour, would give no help to criminals and abide by the Panchayat decisions, they would not pay the revenue without receipt and would remain united under any circumstance. Small zamindars who were disenchanted with British Government due to heavy land revenue demand were also a part of this movement.
