The correct answer is: a) Political reforms and democratic rights.
The Praja Mandal movement was a political movement in Manipur that advocated for political reforms and democratic rights. The movement was started in the early 1930s by a group of young Manipuri intellectuals who were inspired by the Indian independence movement. The movement’s main demands were for universal adult suffrage, responsible government, and the abolition of the hereditary monarchy. The Praja Mandal movement was successful in achieving some of its demands, but it was ultimately unsuccessful in overthrowing the monarchy.
Option b) is incorrect because the Praja Mandal movement did not advocate for economic equality. The movement’s focus was on political reforms and democratic rights.
Option c) is incorrect because the Praja Mandal movement did not advocate for religious revival. The movement was secular in nature and did not seek to promote any particular religion.
Option d) is incorrect because the Praja Mandal movement did not advocate for linguistic rights. The movement was concerned with political reforms and democratic rights, not with linguistic rights.
