In 1918, the United Provinces Kisan Sabha was formed by which of the following leaders?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D

Explanation

The United Provinces (UP) Kisan Sabha was established in February 1918 by Gauri Shankar Mishra and Indra Narayan Dwivedi, with the significant support of Madan Mohan Malaviya. The organization aimed to address peasant grievances against high rents and illegal levies by taluqdars. By mid-1919, it had hundreds of branches across the province.

  • Baba Ramchandra (Option B) was a key figure in the peasant movement but is primarily associated with the formation of the Awadh Kisan Sabha in October 1920.
  • Swami Sahjanand Saraswati (Option C) founded the Bihar Provincial Kisan Sabha (1929) and the All India Kisan Sabha (1936).
  • Jawaharlal Nehru (Option A) became actively involved in the peasant movement in 1920 after visiting Awadh villages, but he was not a founder of the 1918 Sabha.
