Career

In 1945-46 Rajasthan witnessed another agrarian struggle at Kangar in Bikaner State. Deep Chand Kaswan played a significant role in the Kangar movement. As a freedom fighter and reformer, he took part in the peaceful demonstrations in Kangar village against the Jagirdars' harsh tax collection methods. Along with other leaders, Kaswan hoped that higher authorities would intervene and resolve the conflict rather than resorting to violence in reaction to the Jagirdars' threats against the farmers. By making this decision, the farmers avoided potential violence and showed their unwavering opposition to feudal control.[4][5]
