Which one of the following statements about the Eka Movement and Bardoli Satyagraha is correct ?

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: C

Explanation

The Eka Movement (1921–22) took place in the Awadh region (Hardoi, Bahraich, and Sitapur districts) of present-day Uttar Pradesh. It was a peasant protest primarily against the excessive extraction of rents, which were generally 50% higher than the recorded rates, and the oppression of thekedars (revenue contractors). The movement was led by Madari Pasi. It was initially supported by Congress and Khilafat leaders but later lost their support due to its militant approach.

The Bardoli Satyagraha (1928) occurred in the Surat district of Gujarat. It was a successful no-tax campaign led by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel against the Bombay Presidency government's unjust decision to enhance land revenue by 22%.

Thus, Option C correctly identifies the primary causes of both movements. Option A is incorrect as Congress did not support the Eka Movement throughout. Option B is incorrect as the Eka Movement was directed against the taluqdars. Option D is incorrect regarding the geographical locations of both movements.
