In 1943, some of the younger leaders in the Satara district of Maharashtra set up a parallel government ( prati sarkar), with volunteer corps (seba dals) and village units (tufan dals ). They ran people’s courts and organised constructive work. Dominated by kunbi peasants and supported by dalits, the Satara prati sarkar functioned till the elections of 1946, despite government repression and, in the later stages, Congress disapproval. |
