Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Concept Overview:
This question tests your knowledge of the associations between Indian tribal communities and significant historical movements.
Step 2: Detailed Matching:
Here's a breakdown of the correct pairings:
- A. Mundas: The Mundas, residing in the Chota Nagpur Plateau, participated in the Birsa movement (Munda Ulgulan), a major revolt against British rule and exploitative landlords, led by Birsa Munda. Therefore, A corresponds to III.
- B. Gonds: The Rampa Rebellion (1922-24), or Manyam Rebellion, was a notable tribal uprising in the Godavari region of the Madras Presidency. Although spearheaded by Alluri Sitarama Raju, it actively involved tribal groups such as the Koya, a Gond sub-tribe. Thus, B aligns with IV.
- C. Bhils: The Bhagat movement was a socio-religious reform initiative among the Bhils in Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Madhya Pradesh. Leaders like Govindgiri initiated this movement to unite the Bhils and fight for their rights. Hence, C matches with I.
- D. Bhotiyas: The Chipko movement, a non-violent environmental and social movement, arose in the 1970s in the Himalayan regions of Uttar Pradesh (now Uttarakhand). It involved local villagers, including women and communities like the Bhotiyas, who protected trees from deforestation. So, D is paired with II.
Step 3: Solution:
Based on the above matches:
A $\rightarrow$ III
B $\rightarrow$ IV
C $\rightarrow$ I
D $\rightarrow$ II
The accurate combination is A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II, which aligns with option (D).
