Answer 1

Hint:We will discuss the Bijolia movement. The government formed a commission under the Chairmanship of Bindulal Bhattacharya. The Commission was made to hear the complaints of Bijolia farmers. The commission advocated for various recommendations which were proposed for the benefit of farmers but the government did not pay any attention to it.

Complete answer:
Delegation of peasants consisting of Nanji Patel and Thakir Patel went to Udaipur to grant a concession but there occured a scene. The concession was granted but did not last. Prithvi Singh ascended the Jagir and instructed his officials to increase the tax collection failing to the concession. There was an agreement which brought the following changes: there was a reduction in the amount of Talwar Bandi. there it was decided that no tax will be taken when there is no cultivation, deduction in tax and land revenue etc.
In April 1919 The government formed a commission under the Chairmanship of Bindulal Bhattacharya.. Therefore all the movement continued to run as usual.Bijolia movement was a peasants movement. It was against the excessive land revenue extraction. It originated from Jagir instead of Bijolia which is a town in Bhilwara district and it gradually spread into neighboring. The movement continued for about half a century.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A).

Note: Some presents chose not to cultivate and others migrated to the neighbouring places like Gwalior and Bundi. Indian National Congress was asked to support the peasant movement but it was not supported and resolution failed.
