The movement aimed to distribute land to the poor, promoting social justice and rural development. Bhave traveled extensively across India, advocating for the cause and achieving notable success in several regions.

14. What is 'Subaltern Studies"? (Presidency University Masters Entrance Questions 2017)
Subaltern Studies is a group of South Asian scholars who study post-colonial and post-imperial societies from the perspective of the underclasses. The term "subaltern" was coined by Antonio Gramsci to describe an inferior rank in the army. Today, it refers to people of inferior rank due to their economic condition, race, ethnicity, gender, caste, or sexual orientation. The Subaltern Studies Group aims to produce historical analyses that view subaltern groups as the subjects of history, rather than the objects of it. The group's anti-essentialist approach is one of history from below, focused more on what happens among the masses at the base levels of society than among the elite
