All India Kisan Sabha (36 Canning Lane)
The All India Kisan Sabha (Akhil Bharatiya Kisan Sabha) (AIKS), or All India Kisan Sabha (36 Canning Lane), is the peasants front of Communist Party of India (Marxist), and works for farmers rights and anti-feudal movement in India,[1]
It is sometimes referred to as All India Kisan Sabha (36 Canning Lane), to distinguish it from the AIKS of Communist Party of India - the AIKS (Ajoy Bhavan).
