Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)
(A) Dalit Sangharsh Samiti — this matches (IV) Political organisation. Dalit political assertion has moved on to contemporary political organisations like the Bahujan Samaj Party in Uttar Pradesh and the Dalit Sangharsh Samiti of Karnataka.
(B) Sachar Committee — this matches (III) Status of Muslim group. Groups marginalised by religion are drawing attention, as shown by the Sachar Committee Report on the Muslim community.
(C) Janjati — this matches (I) Tribes. ‘Janjati’ is the Hindi word for a tribe, as in ‘anusuchit janjati’ for Scheduled Tribes.
(D) Nairs — this matches (II) Matrilineal. The Nairs of Kerala used to be a matrilineal society, as the Khasis of Meghalaya still are.
NCERT (2025-26): “State and Non-State Initiatives Addressing Caste and Tribe Discrimination … From the pre-Independence struggles and movements launched by people like Jyotiba Phule, Iyotheedas, Periyar, Ambedkar and others (See Chapter 3) to contemporary political organisations like the Bahujan Samaj Party in Uttar Pradesh or the Dalit Sangharsh Samiti of Karnataka, Dalit political assertion has come a long way.…” “…But the strongest argument comes from the societies that were different from the ‘normal’ or common pattern. If women were biologically unfit to be inheritors and heads of families, how did matrilineal societies (as the Nairs of Kerala used to be, and as the Khasis of Meghalaya still are) work for centuries?…” “…More complex formations like groups defined by religion and caste, gender and religion, or caste and region are likely to claim our attention in the near future, as shown, for example, by the Sachar Committee Report on the Muslim community.…” |
