A movement for religious revival
A protest against deforestation
A demand for separate statehood
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: a) Early resistance to British colonialism in Meghalaya.
The Khasi National Awakening was a movement led by U Tirot Sing in the 19th century to resist British colonialism in Meghalaya. The movement was successful in driving the British out of the region, and it is considered to be one of the first successful anti-colonial movements in India.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Option b) is incorrect because the Khasi National Awakening was not a movement for religious revival. The Khasi people are an indigenous people of Meghalaya who have their own unique culture and religion. The Khasi National Awakening was a political movement, not a religious one.
- Option c) is incorrect because the Khasi National Awakening was not a protest against deforestation. The Khasi people have a strong respect for nature, and they have traditionally been careful to manage their forests sustainably. The Khasi National Awakening was a political movement, not an environmental one.
- Option d) is incorrect because the Khasi National Awakening was not a demand for separate statehood. The Khasi people have always been proud of their unique culture and identity, but they have never demanded separate statehood from India. The Khasi National Awakening was a political movement that sought to improve the lives of the Khasi people within the Indian Union.
