Jawaharlal Nehru's "no-rent" campaign against British colonial rule in India leads to his re-arrest.

Jawaharlal Nehru was re-arrested in Allahabad for leading a “no-rent” campaign advocating for the rights of peasants. This campaign emerged during a period of heightened political resistance against British colonial rule in India. The backdrop of the movement was marked by widespread economic hardship among the agrarian community, as they were burdened with high rents and taxes imposed by colonial landlords. Peasant struggles had been gaining momentum, and Nehru’s involvement was part of a broader strategy by the Indian National Congress to mobilize rural masses. The “no-rent” campaign aimed to exert economic pressure on the British authorities by refusing to pay rents, thereby directly challenging the financial interests of the colonial administration and local landlords allied with the British. Nehru’s arrest served to underscore the increasing tensions between Indian nationalists and the British colonial government. His role in the campaign highlighted his commitment to addressing the plight of India’s rural population. The re-arrest was also indicative of the British authorities' growing concerns about the effectiveness of non-cooperation and civil disobedience movements led by the Congress Party. The impact of Nehru’s re-arrest was multifaceted. It galvanized support among the peasantry and other sections of Indian society who sympathized with the cause of agrarian relief. On the political front, it fortified the resolve of Congress leaders and members to continue their struggle against British rule, despite frequent incarcerations of their key figures. Statistically, the Indian National Congress continued to gain mass support during this period, reflecting the growing dissatisfaction with colonial policies. Nehru's leadership in the “no-rent” campaign established a critical link between urban political movements and rural agrarian issues, shaping the future strategies of the Indian independence movement. His actions not only highlighted the economic grievances of the peasantry but also emphasized the importance of their role in the larger struggle for independence. #Nehru #PeasantRights #NoRentCampaign #IndianIndependence #ColonialResistance #MoofLife
