Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 (2 and 3 only).

During the Civil Disobedience Movement (1930-34), the tribal population in the Chota Nagpur region, particularly the Oraons and Mundas, actively participated by aligning their social reform movements with the Gandhian nationalist agenda. Influenced by the Tana Bhagat movement and Congress workers, these tribals adopted the following practices:

  • Wore Khadi: Embracing the symbol of self-reliance and protest against British textiles.
  • Gave up drinking liquor and eating meat: This was part of a "purification" process to elevate their social status and protest against government excise revenues.

While opium consumption was a major issue in regions like Assam, historical records specifically emphasize the boycotting of liquor (Arki) and the adoption of vegetarianism and Khadi in the Chota Nagpur belt during this phase. Therefore, statements 2 and 3 are historically documented as the primary forms of tribal participation in this region.
