Educational reforms
Land redistribution
Social equality
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: A) Political representation.
The Nivarthana Agitation was a major political movement in Travancore, India, that took place from 1932 to 1936. The movement was led by the Travancore State Congress (TSC), which was a political party that represented the interests of the non-Brahmin community in Travancore. The TSC demanded that the Travancore government grant political representation to the non-Brahmin community, which was at the time excluded from political power. The agitation was successful in achieving its goal, and the Travancore government granted political representation to the non-Brahmin community in 1936.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Option B, Educational reforms, was not a major demand of the Nivarthana Agitation. However, the TSC did demand that the Travancore government improve the quality of education in Travancore.
- Option C, Land redistribution, was not a major demand of the Nivarthana Agitation. However, the TSC did demand that the Travancore government take steps to reduce the concentration of land ownership in the hands of a small number of people.
- Option D, Social equality, was not a major demand of the Nivarthana Agitation. However, the TSC did demand that the Travancore government take steps to end discrimination against the non-Brahmin community.
