Revolutionary, Tribal and Peasant Movements MCQs

The Eka movement did receive an initial Congress–Khilafat impetus, but its radical grassroots direction created distance from Congress leadership. Bardoli was organised under Vallabhbhai Patel with Congress involvement, so this account reverses or overstates the relationships.

Eka’s prominent grassroots leader was Madari Pasi, and the agitation challenged excessive landlord demands. Bardoli involved revenue-paying cultivators; describing it as simply a movement of landless labourers misses the land-revenue issue.

Eka was associated with districts such as Hardoi, Bahraich and Sitapur in Awadh. Bardoli is in the Surat region of Gujarat, not Saurashtra; the geographical pairing is therefore wrong on both sides.

While the land transfer restriction is correct, the creation of the Santhal Parganas district is also correct, making this answer incomplete.

The communist movement based in Tashkent was associated with M. N. Roy and others. The Ghadar Party preceded and was distinct from communist organisations.

While land ownership was a broader agrarian aspiration, the Tebhaga Movement had the specific and immediate demand of altering the crop-sharing ratio, not outright land transfer.

Complete abolition of zamindari was a larger political goal, but the Tebhaga Movement focused specifically on reducing the landlord's crop share from half to one-third.

Debt relief was not the central demand of the Tebhaga Movement. Its focus was on the crop-sharing ratio between the sharecropper and the landlord.

The Bhil uprisings took place in western India (Khandesh, Rajputana) and were not the subject of Anandamath.

The Rangpur and Dinapur uprising was a peasant revolt in Bengal, but it was not the revolt depicted in Anandamath.

This incorrectly matches the Anushilan Samiti with Guru Ram Singh. Ram Singh led the Kuka Movement, not the Anushilan Samiti.

This incorrectly matches the Chittagong Armoury Raid with Savarkar. Savarkar was associated with Abhinav Bharat, not the Chittagong raid.

This incorrectly matches the Chittagong Armoury Raid with Savarkar and Abhinav Bharat with Kalpana Dutt, reversing both associations.

Khudiram Bose was a young revolutionary known for the Muzaffarpur bombing (1908) but did not found Abhinava Bharat.

Prafulla Chaki participated in the Muzaffarpur bombing alongside Khudiram Bose but was not the organiser of Abhinava Bharat.
