Abstract

This section deals with the foundation of the Western Patna Kisan Sabha, which was formally launched during 1928. Subsequently Sahajanand helped get the Bhumihar Brahmin Mahasabha dissolved. Once again, he plunged into the freedom struggle and was imprisoned. He decided to keep himself aloof both from freedom movement and the Kisan Sabha on account of the hypocrisy of the some of the jailed freedom fighters. However, attempts on the part of zamindars to raise a fake Kisan Sabha and the so-called United Party provoked him to revive the existing Kisan Sabha as a militant organization. What gave further boost to his anti-zamindari approach was their atrocious behaviour towards peasants in the wake of the Bihar Earthquake of 1934. The section ends with a brief description of his final call to end the Zamindari system.
