Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
This question requires matching various tribal communities in India with the historical movements they were associated with.
Step 2: Detailed Explanation:
Let's match each tribe with its corresponding movement:
- A. Mundas: The Munda tribe, from the Chota Nagpur Plateau, was famously led by Birsa Munda in a major uprising against the British and landlords. This movement is known as the Birsa movement or Munda Ulgulan (Great Tumult). So, A matches with III.
- B. Gonds: The Rampa Rebellion of 1922-24, also known as the Manyam Rebellion, was a significant tribal uprising in the Godavari agency of the Madras Presidency. While led by Alluri Sitarama Raju, it involved tribal communities of the region, including the Koya, who are a sub-tribe of the Gonds. Thus, B matches with IV.
- C. Bhils: The Bhagat movement was a socio-religious reform movement among the Bhils of Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Madhya Pradesh. It was started by leaders like Govindgiri to unite the Bhils and advocate for their rights. So, C matches with I.
- D. Bhotiyas: The Chipko movement was a non-violent social and ecological movement in the 1970s in the Himalayan regions of Uttar Pradesh (now Uttarakhand). It involved rural villagers, including women and local communities like the Bhotiyas, protecting trees from being felled. So, D matches with II.
Step 3: Final Answer:
Based on the matching:
A $\rightarrow$ III
B $\rightarrow$ IV
C $\rightarrow$ I
D $\rightarrow$ II
The correct combination is A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II, which corresponds to option (D).
