The Peasant's Uprisings in British Colonial India: A Case Study of NWFP (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa)
The Tenancy Act of 1887 in British colonial India, followed by the eviction drive of peasants from their homes and lands in NWFP(present-day Khyber Pakhtunkhwa)offers as an appropriate unit for scholarly attention to the land rights movement in Pakistan.The peasants of the British India were living a miserable life because of the newly imposed taxes of landed elites and were turning against the landed elites, while around the same time Marxist-Leninist ideology was making impact in the art, literature, and politics of the historic NWFP which changed the dynamics of resistance movement.The establishment and effective role of Kisan Jirga in 1930s organized the peasants of Ghala Dher, and Mufti Abad, who stood against the landed elites and opposed the British imperialism. It is therefore important to discuss and analyze the uprisings of British colonial India, with special focus on the peasant’s uprisings at Ghala Dher, and Mufti Abad of NWFP.
