'''All India Kisan Sabha''' (All India Farmers Union, also known as the ''Akhil Bharatiya Kisan Sabha''), was the name of the peasants front of the [[Communist Party of India]], an important [[peasant movement]] formed by [[Sahajanand Saraswati]] in 1936. It later split into two organizations known by the same name: [[All India Kisan Sabha (Ajoy Bhavan)|AIKS (Ajoy Bhavan)]] and [[All India Kisan Sabha (Ashoka Road)|AIKS (Ashoka Road)]].

==History==
The Kisan Sabha movement started in [[Bihar]] under the leadership of Sahajanand Saraswati who had formed in 1929 the Bihar Provincial Kisan Sabha (BPKS) in order to mobilise peasant grievances against the [[zamindari]] attacks on their occupancy rights, and thus sparking the farmers' movements in India.<ref>{{cite book

Gradually the peasant movement intensified and spread across the rest of India. The formation of [[Congress Socialist Party]] (CSP) in 1934 helped the Communists to work together with the [[Indian National Congress|INC]], however temporarily,<ref>'' Peasants in India's Non-violent Revolution: Practice and Theory'', by [[Mridula Mukherjee]].
