Question

When did the Bengu Kisan Movement start?
a)1920
b)1921
c)1922
d)1923

Answer 1

Hint: The Begun Kisan movement was started in the same year when the Non – Cooperation Movement was started by Mahatma Gandhi.

Complete answer: The Bengu Kisan Movement was a Farmer's Movement that had begun in the Chittorgarh district of Rajasthan which was then a part of the Mewar state of the British Empire. The movement was launched by the farmers against the unjust labour taxes levied on the farmers. This movement ended in the year 1923.
a)1920: Since the Non – Cooperation movement was started in the year 1921 by Mahatma Gandhi and the Begun Kisan Movement also started in the same year, this option is out of bounds. So, it is an incorrect option.
b)1921: The Begun Kisan Movement was launched in the year 1921 alongside the Non – Cooperation movement launched by Mahatma Gandhi. So, it is the correct option.
c)1922: It was the year when the Chauri Chaura incident took place and the Non – Cooperation Movement was taken back by Mahatma Gandhi. So, it is an incorrect option.
d)1923: It was the year when the Begun Kisan movement was brought to an end after two farmers were killed by Mr Trench who was a British subject in Mewar. So, it is an incorrect option.
Therefore, option b is correct.

Note: Similar movements to the Bengu Kisan Movement took place back in those days. The Kisan Sabha Movement is among the important events that took place. This movement was also a peasant movement that took place in the state of Uttar Pradesh before India got independence in the year 1947.
