Master the topic deeply rather than simply memorizing the answer
The peasantry in Bihar suffered severe oppression under the Permanent Settlement of 1793, including arbitrary rent enhancements, illegal cesses (abwabs), and eviction from Bakasht lands. To address these agrarian grievances systematically, Swami Sahajanand Saraswati organized the Bihar Provincial Kisan Sabha (BPKS) at the Sonpur cattle fair in November 1929. BPKS quickly grew into one of India's most powerful provincial peasant organizations, culminating in the formation of the All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS) at Lucknow in April 1936.
