The 'Karshak Sangham' is a prominent peasant organization whose origins lie in the Malabar region of Kerala (then part of Madras Presidency) in the 1930s. Peasant organizations emerged across India in this period, but 'Karshak Sangham' is the specific name strongly associated with the tenant and peasant movements in Kerala, which gained momentum in the 1930s against landlordism and colonial policies. While peasant movements existed in Andhra Pradesh (e.g., Andhra Provincial Ryots Association), Tamil Nadu, and Bengal, 'Karshak Sangham' is the name primarily used for the movement in Kerala, with its establishment often traced to the mid-1930s, consistent with 1934.
