This research article highlights Sir Chhotu Ram‟s political career and endeavours
to unveil the panorama of his efforts for the elevation and amelioration of
economically depressed „Peasantry Class‟ in the United Punjab. Representing the
same class and acquainted with their abject miseries, he addressed their usurped
rights and launched a series of bills on constitutional grounds that would be
immensely soothing and pacifying for the „Peasantry Class‟. To address the
troubles of this social section, he granted them identity through division between
urban and rural classes, purposely convincing to pay heed on peasantry‟s
disappointments. Treading this track, he vehemently advocated the oppressed
peasantry from the platform of the Unionist Party. His voice reverberated more
vociferously when the tilted scale of peasantry was uplifted probably to the
equilibrium in the society. Avoiding the confrontation, his political philosophy was
based on constructive politics full of nationalism and patriotism believing in the
United Punjab and his selfless zeal throughout his career advocated the unity and
cooperation among the agrarian society of the province. His initiatives for
increasing prices of agricultural products and other pro-agrarian stances put him
in an enviable stead of evergreen patronage, and a virtual guardian of suppressed
peasantry. The research paper also focuses on the symbiotic relationship formed
between the peasantry and the Unionist Party and explores the mutual
collaboration of both at every level.
