Correct Answer - Option 2 : Motilal Tejawat

The correct answer is Motilal Tejawat.

 

  • Motilal Tejawat (1885–1963) was the leader of the Eki Movement that was agitated in the 1920s in the Adivasi-dominated border areas of present-day Rajasthan and Gujarat.
  • Motilal Tejawat's immediate source of inspiration was the Bijolia movement.
  • Tejawat came in contact with pamphlets originating from the Bijolia Movement and proceeded to make copies of and distribute the pamphlets in Bhil-majority areas.
  • Tejawat organized several meetings in Bhil villages in the erstwhile estate of Jhadol, which resulted in the formation of a committee that sought to articulate the grievances and demands of the Bhil peasantry.
  • Tejawat saw his movement as being part of the larger independence movement in India led by, among others, Gandhi.
  • He is said to have stated during speeches that once 'Gandhi raj' was established, the agitators would have to pay only one anna in the rupee (i.e., 6%) to their rulers.
