Read Explanation:

Pabna Revolt (1873–1876) – A Peasant Uprising in Bengal

The Pabna Revolt was a significant peasant movement in Bengal, where farmers united against oppressive zamindars who were illegally increasing rent and exploiting them.

Causes of the Pabna Revolt

  1. Excessive Rent Demands – Zamindars arbitrarily raised rent beyond legal limits.

  2. Illegal Evictions – Farmers who failed to pay rent were forcibly evicted.

  3. Oppressive Feudal System – Under the Permanent Settlement of 1793, peasants had no rights over the land they cultivated.

  4. Failure of Legal System – British courts often sided with landlords.


Leaders of the Revolt

  • Keshab Chandra Roy – The most prominent leader.

  • Ishan Chandra Roy (Isham Chandra Roy) – Another key leader who helped organize peasants.

  • Shambhu Pal – Mobilized rural communities to resist unjust taxes.

The Pabna Peasant Association was formed to unite the farmers in legal and peaceful protest.
