The movement here was against talukdars and lanlords who demanded from peasants exorbitantly high rents and a variety of other cesses. Peasants had to do beggar and work at landlords farms without any payment. As tenants they had no security of tenure, being regularly evicted so that they could acquire no right over the leased land. The peasant movement demanded reduction of revenue, abolition of begar, and social boycott of oppressive landlords.
