The correct answer is: D) All of the above.
Movements by workers, peasants, and tribals in Karnataka are often intertwined with broader struggles for social justice, environmental protection, and political participation.
- Social justice refers to the fair and equal treatment of all people, regardless of their race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or any other personal characteristic. Social justice movements seek to end discrimination and oppression, and to create a more just and equitable society.
- Environmental protection refers to the conservation of natural resources and the protection of the environment from pollution and degradation. Environmental protection movements seek to preserve the Earth’s natural resources for future generations, and to ensure that the environment is safe and healthy for all people.
- Political participation refers to the involvement of citizens in the political process. Political participation movements seek to increase the number of people who are involved in politics, and to make the political process more responsive to the needs of ordinary people.
In Karnataka, these three struggles are often intertwined. For example, the movement for land rights for tribal people is also a struggle for environmental protection, as tribal people are often the stewards of the land and its resources. The movement for workers’ rights is also a struggle for social justice, as workers are often exploited and discriminated against. And the movement for political participation is also a struggle for environmental protection, as ordinary people are often the ones who are most affected by environmental degradation.
These struggles are all interconnected, and they all have the potential to make a positive difference in the lives of people in Karnataka.
