- CThe Bakasht movement
- DKrishak Samachar
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (d) Krishak Samachar
Explanation
Swami Sahajanand Saraswati was the leading peasant leader of Bihar:
- he founded the Bihar Provincial Kisan Sabha at Sonepur in 1929;
- he ran the Hindi weekly *Hunkar* from Patna, a voice of the Kisan Sabha;
- he led the Bakasht struggle (1936–1939), in which tenants fought to keep the lands (*bakasht*) that zamindars were taking back from them.
*Krishak Samachar* is not linked with him in the standard accounts, so (d) is the answer.
