Relations of the Peasant Movement with the Indian National Congress: – From the time of its inception, the attitude of the Indian National Congress was neglectful towards the peasant movement.  Not only this, sometimes it also expressed its opinion against the peasant movement.  He strongly criticized the Pabla peasant movement and the Munda rebellion.  Whenever A.  O.  Hume brought the peasant question on the agenda of the Congress.  However, the Congress leaders of Punjab opposed him.  The Congress leaders of Punjab were critical of the Government Act (1900) e) which was enacted to protect the peasants against moneylenders.  The moderate Congressmen had great faith in the British government.  He believed that when the time comes, the British government itself will solve the problems of the farmers.  For this, by revolting or agitating, the farmers themselves are inviting another problem.  By the way some extremist ideology leaders of Congress;  For example, Vasudev Balwant Phadke, Lala Lajpat Rai, Bal Gangadhar Tilak and Ajit Singh gave their support to the peasant movement.  Vasudev Balwant Phadke openly provided his leadership to the peasant struggle of 1879 AD.  Poona Sarvajanik Sabha, Mahadev Govind Ranade and later Bal Gangadhar Tilak also associated themselves with the peasant movements.  In Punjab, Congress leaders Lala Lajpat Rai and Ajit Singh also joined the peasant movement of 1907 and were punished.  It was the result of the Congress and the middle-class leadership not linking themselves with the peasant movement that the farmers’ movement could not help in providing strength and momentum to the national freedom struggle.
