1930 Peshawar Rebellion

The 1930 Peshawar Rebellion, also known as the Peshawar Uprising, was a significant anti-colonial protest in British-ruled India, particularly in the North-West Frontier Province (now Pakistan). It was primarily led by the Khilafat Movement and the All-India Congress, aimed at opposing British policies and gaining independence. The British responded with force, leading to violent clashes, protests, and a widespread crackdown. The rebellion highlighted the growing discontent among Indians against colonial rule and intensified calls for self-governance, contributing to the broader struggle for independence that culminated in 1947.
