– The movement was led by the Kisan Sabha (peasant front of the Communist Party of India).
– The central demand of the Tebhaga movement was the reduction of the share of the harvest taken by the landlords from the traditional one-half (fifty-fifty share) to one-third (tebhaga, meaning “three parts,” where the sharecropper would keep two-thirds).
– The sharecroppers (known as ‘bargadars’ or ‘adhiars’) were tenants who cultivated the land but did not own it, giving a share of the produce to the landlord.
