- Non-Cooperation Movement Spread in the countryside:-
- In Awadh, peasants were led by Baba Ramchandra.
- Here the movement was against talukadars and landlords who demanded from peasant’s exorbitantly high rents and a variety of other cesses.
- Peasants had to do begar and work at land lords forms without any payments.
- As tenants they had no security of tenure were regularly evicted so that they have no right over the leased land.
- The peasant movement demanded reduction of revenue, abolition of begar and social boycott of oppressive landlords.
- In the meantime Jawaharlal Nehru began going around the villages in Awadh.
- The Awadh Kisan Sabha was set up in the villages.
- The peasant movement, however, developed in forms that the Congress leadership was unhappy with.
- As the movement spread, the houses of talukdars and merchants were attacked: bazars were looted and grain hoards were taken over.

Many nationalists thought that the struggleagainst the British could not be won through non-violence. In 1928, the Hindustan Socialist Republican Army (HSRA) was founded at a meeting in Ferozeshah Kotla ground in Delhi. Amongst its leaders were Bhagat Singh, Jatin Das and Ajoy Ghosh. In a series of dramatic actions in different parts of India, the HSRA targeted some of the symbols of British power. In April 1929, Bhagat Singh and Batukeswar Dutta threw a bomb in the Legislative Assembly. In the same year there was an attempt to blow up the train that Lord Irwin was travelling in. Bhagat Singh was 23 when he was tried and executed by the colonial government. During his trial, Bhagat Singh stated that he did not wish to glorify ‘the cult of the bomb and pistol’ but wanted a revolution in society: ‘Revolution is the inalienable right of mankind. Freedom is the imprescriptible birthright of all. The labourer is the real sustainer of society.… To the altar of this revolution we have brought our youth as incense, for no sacrifice is too great for so magnificent a cause. We are content. We await the advent of revolution'. 'Inquilab Zindabad!'
