The Patharughat uprising of 1894 in Assam, India, saw thousands of peasants peacefully protest steep increases in land revenue imposed by the British colonial administration. Despite the non-violent nature of the gathering, British troops opened fire on the unarmed crowd, resulting in numerous casualties. This event, often compared to the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, highlights a significant but lesser-known peasant struggle for dignity and fairness against unjust taxation during British rule.
