Tevagar Gan- is an Android App contain Bengali Folk Songs.

The Tebhaga movement was an Indian independence campaign initiated in Bengal by the Kisan Sabha (peasant front of the Communist Party of India) in 1946–47

At that time sharecroppers had contracted to give half of their harvest to the landlords. The demand of the Tebhaga (sharing by thirds) movement was to reduce the landlord share to one third.

In many areas the agitations turned violent, and landlords fled, leaving parts of the countryside in the hands of Kisan Sabha. In 1946, sharecroppers began to assert that they would pay only one-third and that before division the crop would stay in their godowns and not that of the Jotedars. The sharecroppers were encouraged by the fact that the Bengal Land Revenue Commission had already made this recommendation in its report to the government. The movement resulted in clashes between Jotedars and Bargadars. To encourage the Bargadars to continue this movement the local singer of the Bangla area sung many song, this songs are known as Tevagar Gan.
