In 1922, Baba Ramchandra referred to Lenin as ‘the Dear Leader of the Kisans’.
– Baba Ramchandra was a leading figure in the kisan (peasant) movement in Awadh during the early 1920s, particularly around 1920-1921.
– While primarily involved in the struggle against talukdars and landlords, he was influenced by nationalist ideas and, reflecting the revolutionary atmosphere of the time and the impact of the Russian Revolution, reportedly incorporated references to figures like Lenin in his speeches to mobilize peasants, portraying them as leaders of peasant/worker struggles globally.
– This specific phrase is attributed to Baba Ramchandra in historical accounts detailing the peasant movements in Awadh during this period.
Swami Sahajananda Saraswati was a prominent leader of peasant movements, but his major activities and the formation of the All India Kisan Sabha were later in the 1930s. Swami Vidyananda was also active in peasant movements in Bihar. Jawaharlal Nehru had connections with peasant movements but the specific quote referencing Lenin in this manner is associated with Baba Ramchandra.
