Back in the 1920s, the peasants of Mulshi Peta, near Pune, India, had protested against the construction of a dam being built with government support by the industrial house of the Tatas. As a marker of the transition from an agrarian to an industrialised society, the Mulshi satyagraha anticipated many of the modern protest movements.
