The Tebhaga Movement (1946-1947) was a significant peasant uprising in Bengal, aimed at improving the share of produce for tenant farmers. At the time, sharecroppers (bargadars) were required to give half of their harvest to landlords, but the movement sought to reduce this to one-third, hence the name Tebhaga (meaning "three shares").
The movement was led by the Kisan Sabha, the peasant wing of the Communist Party of India (CPI). Key leaders included Kangal Harinath, Hare Krishna Konar, Ajit Pandey, and Saroj Mukherjee.
The movement gained widespread support from impoverished peasants, particularly in the districts of Dinajpur, Rangpur, and Jalpaiguri. Although it faced severe repression from the colonial government and landlords, the Tebhaga movement was instrumental in drawing attention to the exploitation of peasants and laid the groundwork for land reform movements in post-independence India.
