In 1922, who referred to Lenin as the Dear Leader of the Kisans?
Explanation
In 1922, Swami Vidyananda (born Vibhuti Bhushan Prasad), a prominent leader of the peasant movement in Bihar, referred to Vladimir Lenin as the "Dear Leader of the Kisans". This occurred during the height of the agrarian agitation against the Darbhanga Raj.
- Swami Vidyananda: He led the Darbhanga kisan movement (1919–1922) and was among the first to invoke the success of the Russian Revolution and Lenin's leadership to mobilize Indian peasants against the zamindari system.
- Context: By 1922, the influence of the Bolshevik Revolution began reaching the grassroots in India. Vidyananda used Lenin's name to symbolize the empowerment of the peasantry and to advocate for their rights over the land.
- Others: While Baba Ramchandra was a legendary leader in the Awadh region and Swami Sahajananda Saraswati became the most influential kisan leader later in 1929, the specific reference to Lenin in 1922 is historically attributed to Vidyananda.
