Match List-I with List-II and select the correct answer using the code given below the Lists : List-I (Movement) A. Bardoli Satyagraha B. Tebhaga C. Satyasodhak Samaj D. Ulgulan Code: List-II (Mass base/ Following) 1. Bargadars 2. Kaliparaj 3. Mundas 4. Kunbi peasantry A B C D
Explanation
The Bardoli Satyagraha (1928) in Gujarat was primarily supported by the Kaliparaj (landless laborers) and Ujliparaj (higher caste) communities, with the Kaliparaj being a significant mass base. The Tebhaga movement (1946) in Bengal was a struggle by sharecroppers, known as bargadars, who demanded two-thirds of the harvest instead of half [4]. The Satyashodhak Samaj, founded by Jyotirao Phule, focused on the upliftment of the non-Brahmin castes, particularly the Kunbi peasantry in Maharashtra, who formed its core following. Ulgulan refers to the 'Great Tumult' or rebellion led by Birsa Munda (1899-1900) in the Chotanagpur region, where the Mundas rose against the destruction of their common land system by outsiders and the British [2]. Matching these gives: A-2, B-1, C-4, D-3.
