This paper briefly deals with the unprecedented events which created a sense of revolutionary political consciousness of Communist and Leftist ideology in the remotest corner of district Unnao in United Provinces. Civil Disobedience of 1930 and 1932 made a landmark in growth of Leftwing movement along with the widening of the scope of National Revolution. During the same period an economic depression of an unprecedented magnitude was devastating the whole earth and its effect on Indian masses particularly the peasants and workers, was not of less importance. Besides the anti salt campaign, the No-Rent drive had formed one of the items of Congress struggle during those days and they further linked up the economic life of the people with their national organization. The same period also witnessed the emergence of intensified trade union and peasant movement. In that political and national stream the Unnao district successfully organised huge demonstration of workers and Kisans in front of the Council House in Lucknow on 1st March 1938. It initiated the process of amalgamation of Communist trend and its radical consciousness in the movement which raised eye brows of Congress leadership.
