Study Notes

Peasant Movement in Awadh

Primary goal of nai-dhobi bandhs organized by panchayats was to assert peasant rights against exploitation by landlords and talukdars.
Oudh Kisan Sabha was established in June 1920 by key figures including Baba Ramchandra and others who advocated for peasants’ rights.
The peasant movement in Awadh did not align with the expectations of the Congress leadership, as it emphasized local issues rather than a broad national agenda.
Gandhiji's name significantly influenced local leaders during the peasant movement, as it mobilized support and legitimacy for their actions.

Challenges in the Non-Cooperation Movement

A substantial challenge faced by the Non-Cooperation Movement was the return of students and teachers to government schools, driven by fears of violence and repression.
The peasant movement against talukdars and landlords in Awadh during the post-war period was led by figures like Baba Ramchandra.

Successes and Demands

Under Vallabhbhai Patel's leadership, the Bardoli Satyagraha emerged as a successful example of organized civil resistance.
Demands of the Awadh peasant movement included reduction of rent, security of tenure, and cessation of evictions from leased land.

Events and Repression

On January 6, 1921, the police stopped prominent leader Jawaharlal Nehru from reaching the site of a firing incident in the United Provinces.
Tenants in Awadh faced a lack of security of tenure and frequent evictions due to the landlords enforcing oppressive feudal practices.

Guerrilla Movements and Perspectives

A militant guerrilla movement emerged in parts of Awadh in the early 1920s, operating outside the approval of Congress leadership.
Jawaharlal Nehru had a moment of weakness near Rae Bareli, leading him to reconsider the principles of non-violence during intense hardships.

Autotrophic Nutrition

Autotrophs require raw materials such as carbon dioxide and minerals, in addition to water, for the process of photosynthesis.
The phrase "Each organism is adapted to its environment" refers to the nutritional strategies organisms develop to survive within their specific habitats.
Autotrophs obtain nitrogen for protein synthesis through processes like nitrogen fixation, facilitated by specific bacteria in the soil.
Autotrophs fulfill carbon and energy needs primarily through photosynthesis, utilizing sunlight to convert carbon dioxide into organic matter.

Enzyme Functions and Feeding Mechanisms

Enzymes play a crucial role in breaking down complex substances into simpler compounds, enabling organisms to access energy and nutrients.
Organisms like herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores rely directly or indirectly on autotrophs for survival as they form the base of the food chain.
Energy and material requirements in autotrophic organisms are met through photosynthesis and absorption of nutrients from the soil.
Amoeba ingests food through a process called phagocytosis, enveloping food particles with its cell membrane.
The main difference in food intake between Amoeba and Paramecium is that Amoeba engulfs food while Paramecium uses cilia to sweep food into its oral groove.
Some organisms obtain nutrition without killing their hosts, exemplifying parasitic relationships that allow for nutrient exchange without host death.
