The present paper deals with peasant movement in Daundi-Lohara Zamindari of Chhattisgarh as well as attitude of ruling Congress ministry towards the movement. Using their social and economic resources the Congress politicians won widespread support in the election of 1937 for the Congress among the peasants, tribals, and labouring classes as the party pledged to replace British rule with a government that would serve the interests of all. We find that all peasant movements from 1857 till rise of Gandhi were sporadic in nature. Absence of proper leadership and unorganized peasantry were the drawbacks of these movements. During the Gandhian Phase (1920-1947), priority was given to peasants' problems in the national movement. Radical wings of the peasant movement, whose ideology were based on socialism, had realized that Congress was not playing honest role in the fight of peasants with zamindars and landlords. In 1936, All Indian Kisan Sabha was formed at Lucknow with Swami Sahajanand Saraswati as its first president. The programmes of the Kisan Sabha reflected the aspirations and needs of the entire peasantry. Like other peasant movement, the Daundi- Lohara movement was also against the oppressive policy of zamindar and his agent. Congress leaders of Durg district supported the movement, but strong action was taken by police officials and colonial authorities finally suppressed the movement.
