Which Khasi religious movement sought to revive traditional culture and opposed British influence in Meghalaya?

Seng Khasi Movement
Niam Khasi Movement
Ka Pomblang Nongkrem
Behdienkhlam

The correct answer is: a) Seng Khasi Movement.

The Seng Khasi Movement was a religious movement that sought to revive traditional Khasi culture and oppose British influence in Meghalaya. The movement was founded in the late 19th century by U Tirot Sing Syiem, a Khasi chief. The Seng Khasi Movement opposed British attempts to convert the Khasi to Christianity and to impose British law on the Khasi Hills. The movement also opposed British attempts to exploit Khasi land and resources.

The Seng Khasi Movement was successful in its opposition to British influence. The British were forced to recognize the traditional Khasi system of law and government. The British also agreed to respect Khasi land rights. The Seng Khasi Movement played a significant role in the preservation of Khasi culture and identity.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • b) Niam Khasi Movement is a religious movement that seeks to revive traditional Khasi culture. However, it does not oppose British influence in Meghalaya.
  • c) Ka Pomblang Nongkrem is a Khasi festival that celebrates the harvest. It is not a religious movement.
  • d) Behdienkhlam is a Khasi festival that celebrates the beginning of the new year. It is not a religious movement.
