The peasant movement has contributed significantly to the national movement. This not only strengthened its base but also highlighted the problems of the farmers on the national level. In the twentieth century, there was a peasant movement in many areas of India; one of them was the peasant movement of Awadh. Many scholars have presented their views on Awadhi’s peasant movement. But this paper is focused on Sultanpur district of Awadh. An attempt has been made to study the origin, nature and resistance of peasants against the British ruler and zamindars. Primary sources, secondary sources, newspapers and other archival sources have been consulted to prepare this research paper.
