Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Jharkhand.
The Tana Bhagat movement (1914) was led by Jatra Bhagat among the Oraon tribe in the Chota Nagpur region of modern-day Jharkhand. This unique tribal movement beautifully blended social reforms—like opposing animal sacrifice and alcohol—with political resistance. Strongly influenced by Gandhian principles, the Tana Bhagats uniquely adopted non-violence, satyagraha, and the non-cooperation movement to protest against unfair British taxes and exploitation by local landlords, making it a distinct chapter in India's freedom struggle.
