Social Change and Development in India: Social Movements

Question:

States in India are based on both linguistic and non-linguistic grounds. Keeping this statement in mind, what do you think was the reason that led to the emergence of the states, like Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh?

Options:

These states are result of linguistic policy

These states are result of Tribal movements

These states are result of Caste based movements

These states are result of Peasant movement

Correct Answer:

These states are result of Tribal movements

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → These states are result of Tribal movements

Both Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh have significant tribal populations, and the movements for separate statehood were driven by the desire to address the socio-economic and political marginalization of these tribal communities. These movements sought to assert tribal identities, protect tribal rights, and gain greater control over local resources and governance. As a result, separate states were eventually formed to accommodate the aspirations and demands of these tribal movements.
