Question

In South Bihar, the locals have a common resentment against migrant traders and moneylenders. What are these migrant groups known as?

• A. Nakarattars
• B. Adivasis
• C. Dikus
• D. Oraons

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Local South Bihari resentment is directed at the Dikus, a term used for outsiders or perceived exploiters within the community, specifically targeting migrant traders and moneylenders. The other provided terms are distinct:

• Nakarattars: A mercantile community in Tamil Nadu, unrelated to the South Bihar context.
• Adivasis: Indigenous people of India, who are typically the exploited, not the exploiters.
• Oraons: An ethnic group in India, but not the migrant traders or moneylenders implicated in South Bihar.

Therefore, Dikus accurately identifies the external groups whose economic activities provoke local animosity.
