To determine which statements regarding the Freedom Struggle from 1920 to 1935 are correct, let's analyze each statement:
- Statement 1: In Bihar and Bengal, the Non-Cooperation Movement owed its effectiveness to the participation of peasants.
The Non-Cooperation Movement (1920-1922), initiated by Mahatma Gandhi, saw widespread participation across India, including significant involvement from the peasantry in regions like Bihar and Bengal. This movement was marked by large-scale mass participation, and the rural populace, especially the peasants, played a crucial role, providing the movement with considerable strength and momentum. Thus, this statement is correct. - Statement 2: In Bihar, they were organised against the planters under the banner of Kisan Sabha.
The Kisan Sabhas were crucial in organizing peasants against exploitative landlords and British planters, particularly in Bihar. The Kisan Sabha movements saw active peasant participation to protect their rights against the British-driven plantation economy. Therefore, this statement is also correct. - Statement 3: In Midnapore in Bengal, Mahishya peasants rallied against the taxes of the Union Board under the leadership of Birendranath Sasmal.
In Midnapore, the Mahishya community, led by leaders such as Birendranath Sasmal, indeed organized protests against excessive taxation by the British-imposed Union Boards. These movements were significant in establishing local resistance against colonial economic policies. Hence, this statement is correct too.
Conclusively, all three statements are correct. Hence, the answer is: 1, 2 and 3.
