1907 Punjab unrest

The 1907 Punjab unrest was a significant episode of civil unrest and resistance against colonial rule in British India, particularly in the Punjab province. Triggered by widespread dissatisfaction with oppressive policies, increased taxation, and economic distress, the unrest manifested through the mobilization of various agrarian and political groups. Key incidents included demonstrations, protests, and acts of violence, reflecting a growing nationalist sentiment. Notably, the unrest was characterized by the involvement of notable leaders and organizations advocating for Indian rights and autonomy. The British response included repressive measures and the deployment of military forces, escalating tensions and laying the groundwork for further nationalist movements in the lead-up to India's independence.
