Question
Why is Baba Ramchandra famous?
Answer
Baba Ramchandra was a peasant leader in the United Province (now Uttar Pradesh) of India, who played a significant role in the peasant movement of the 1920s. He was the main leader of the UP Kishan Sabha, which was founded by Gourishankar Mishra and Indra Narayan Dwivedi in 1928. Under his leadership, the members of UP Kishan Sabha started an aggressive movement in Sultanpur, Raiberili, and Pratapgarh regions of UP, which was not supported by Mahatma Gandhi. Baba Ramchandra was arrested by the police on false charges of theft, which led to protests and the founding of the “Eka” movement and Bardouli Satyagraha.
