The Indian peasants showed great courage and spirit of sacrifice, remarkable organizational abilities, and a solidarity that cut across religious and caste lines. They were also able to bring considerable concessions from the colonial state.
The latter, too, not being directly challenged, was willing to compromise and mitigate the harshness of the agrarian system though within the broad limits of the colonial economic and political structure.
In this respect, the colonial regime’s treatment of the post 1857 peasant rebels was different from its treatment of the participants in the civil rebellions, the Revolt of 1857 and the tribal uprisings which directly challenged colonial political power.
Following are the major movements of peasants revolt :-
