    The All India Kisan Sabha was formed in 1936 in Lucknow to advocate for farmers' rights. It aimed to abolish landlordism and reduce land revenue and interest rates to support farmers. The organization grew dissatisfied with the Indian National Congress for failing to fulfill promises to farmers. In 1942, peasant leaders appealed to farmers to not support the Quit India Movement. Today, two organizations continue the Kisan Sabha's work of representing peasants and advocating for their rights and livelihoods.

    All India Kisan Sabha

    DR SOMA SUNDARAM
    The Kisan Sabha movement was started in Bihar.
    In 1929, Sahajanand Saraswati formed Bihar Provincial Kisan Sabha
    (BPKS).
    Facts about All India Kisan Sabha
    1. The All India Kisan Sabha was formed in 1936 at
    Lucknow.
    2. All India Kisan Sabha is also known as ‘Akhil Bhartiya
    Kisan Sabha.
    3. Swami Sahajanand Saraswati was the head of the Sabha.
    4. The secretary of this association was NG Ranga
    State Kisan Sabhas
    The motives of the All India Kisan Sabha were:
    1.To abolish the Zamindari system,
    2.To reduce land revenue,
    3.To institutionalize credit.
    ◦ In the 1937 elections, INC got a good number of seats and formed
    the majority in as many as 8 provinces.
    ◦ The INC was in power for almost 28 months, and some legislation
    was brought especially in Bihar, where the land revenue was fixed
    at the rate of 1911 and the tenants who were tilling their lands for
    the past 12 years were now to become owners.
    ◦ A good number of the INC leaders were Zamindars themselves,
    while the peasants and workers came from another class.
    ◦ Thus this class clash within the INC was a hurdle, in implementing
    all the schemes that were visualized by Gandhi, Nehru and others.
    ◦ So, by and large, the INC failed to meet all the promises they had
    claimed to fulfil to the peasants.
    ◦ The peasants thus became disillusioned with the INC government.
    ◦ Thus, the All India Kisan Sabha felt betrayed by the INC and this is why,
    when in 1942, Mahatma Gandhi gave a call for the
    Quit India Movement, the peasant leaders such as Swami Sahajanand
    Saraswati appealed to the peasants not to support Gandhi or the INC.
    ◦ The peasant movement started being dominated by the socialists and
    communists and in the INC Haripura session, the rift between INC and
    AIKS became evident.
    ◦ In May 1942, CPI took over AIl India Kisan Sabha all across the country.
    TWO ORGANISATION OF AIKS
    ◦ There are two organisations at present working under the
    name AIKS (following the split of Communist Party of India
    in 1964):
    ◦ All India Kisan Sabha – Communist Party of India’s
    Peasant Wing
    ◦ All India Kisan Sabha – Communist Party of India-
    Marxist’s Peasant Front; also known as All India Kisan
    Sabha
    Objectives of All India Kisan Sabha
    ◦ All India Kisan Sabha works as the forum representing
    peasants and agricultural and other rural labourers. The
    following are the objectives of the All India Kisan Sabha:
    ◦ To abolish landlordism and to distribute the land free of cost to
    agricultural and other rural labourers.
    ◦ To improve the standard of living of rural masses and to develop
    agriculture and industry.
    ◦ To end exploitation meted out to the agricultural and other rural
    labourers
    Recent Developments
    ◦ The All India Kisan Sabha led Milk Farmers Struggle in Maharashtra
    in August 2020 to bring attention to the plummeting milk prices to
    farmers.
    ◦ AIKS was a part of Bhoomi Adhikaar Andolan in July 2019 working
    for the rights of Adivasis and forest dwellers.
    Conclusion
    ◦ The All India Kisan Sabha has been a famous peasant struggle that
    started in the 20th Century against the Zamindari System.
    ◦ Today, it aids farmers, peasants and other agricultural and rural
    labourers to promote their standard of living.
    ◦ It is important for UPSC aspirants to know the basic history of All
    India Kisan Sabha for their exam preparation.
