The correct answer is: a) British forest restrictions.
Alluri Sitarama Raju was an Indian independence activist who led the Rampa Rebellion against the British Raj in the 1920s. The rebellion was a protest against British forest restrictions, which had a devastating impact on the lives of the tribal people of the region. The restrictions limited the amount of land that the tribal people could use for cultivation and grazing, and they also imposed heavy fines on those who violated the rules. The rebellion was ultimately unsuccessful, but it is remembered as an important chapter in the history of the Indian independence movement.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Option b) is incorrect because the Rampa Rebellion was not primarily a protest against exploitative landlords. While the tribal people of the region did suffer from exploitation at the hands of landlords, this was not the main cause of the rebellion.
- Option c) is incorrect because the Rampa Rebellion was not primarily a protest against forced religious conversions. While there were some instances of forced religious conversions in the region, this was not a widespread problem.
- Option d) is incorrect because the Rampa Rebellion was not primarily a protest against the prohibition of traditional practices. While the British did prohibit some traditional practices of the tribal people, this was not the main cause of the rebellion.
