Pagri Sambhal Jatta Movement 1907
Pagri sambhal Jatta movement was a violent peasant movement in 1907. It was caused due to the farmers agitation against British Laws such as Doab Bari Act, Punjab Land Consolidation Act and Punjab Land Alienation Act. There was a peasant Rally at Lyallpur (presently in Pakistan) organised by Bhagat Singh's Uncle Ajit Singh and others in which Pagri Sambhal Oo Jatta was sang (Song by Banke Dayal) as an anthem against the British oppression. Britishers constructed Upper bari Doab Channel in 1879 to draw water from Chenab river to Lyallpur and provided land to peasants, area which were earlier un-inhabited area was now allotted to peasants thus they became master of the land and denied land ownership rights to the peasants.
