Peasant organizations in India

It is an in-depth study of the peasant organization in India the forms it has adopted and the direction it has taken. The information is based on case studies and reports obtained from extensive survey sponsored by the F.A.O. of the U.N.O. Hence, it examines the measures and action programmes accrued during the 'First-Development Decade' for agrarian reforms and also a recommendation of the policies and strategies to be ensued for rural uplift ment and the development of related institutions during the Second Development Decade'. It appraises existing peasant organisations & ascer tains the possibility of their establishment.

While it traces the history of peasant organisations, it also offers a rare insight into the complex truisms and stark realities of the movement in the present context. A complete cross-section of its structure and functional processes is displayed, that marks the banal, fragmentary nature of peasant awakening. It views deep-rooted feudalism as a stigma that infuses petty sectarian biases like caste and class to slacken its pace.
