High taxes imposed by the British
Landlords and tenancy practices
Moneylenders and debt traps
Forced labor practices
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: b) Landlords and tenancy practices.
The Tanjore Tenants’ Movement was a peasant uprising in the Tanjore district of British India in the early 20th century. The movement was led by the Pattadar Federation, an organization of tenant farmers, and was against the high rents and oppressive tenancy practices of the landlords. The movement was successful in achieving some of its demands, including a reduction in rents and the abolition of some of the most oppressive tenancy practices.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Option (a) is incorrect because the Tanjore Tenants’ Movement was not primarily against high taxes imposed by the British. While high taxes were a burden on the peasants, they were not the primary cause of the uprising.
- Option (c) is incorrect because the Tanjore Tenants’ Movement was not primarily against moneylenders and debt traps. While moneylenders were a source of exploitation for the peasants, they were not the primary cause of the uprising.
- Option (d) is incorrect because the Tanjore Tenants’ Movement was not primarily against forced labor practices. While forced labor was a burden on the peasants, it was not the primary cause of the uprising.
