Abstract

The Preamble of our constitution which was enacted, enforced and adopted by us, the people of India, secures us with justice, equality, liberty and fraternity. Our leaders had held the vision of just and equitable India, who not only have substantiated this idea of justice and equality in the constitutional framework but also proclaimed in their impactful speeches that “the last man of the row will get maximum benefits”. Sadly enough, the conditions of weak and oppressed didn’t change. In Eastern India, the condition of peasants worsened during 1960s. They were continually being exploited at the hands of landlords. Ignorance to peaceful protests and futile discourses with parliament gave rise to the peasant uprising in Naxalbari village of West Bengal during 1967.
