There were numerous parallels that could be drawn between the anti-Betterment movement of 1959 and the three laws repealed by the government in 2021. This research paper aims to examine anti-betterment agitation to comprehend how, in the past, the peasantry also forced the government to reverse its decision through widespread mass agitation. Although, the movement’s withdrawal became one of the primary causes for spilt in CPI later on.
