While reading about tribal movements in erstwhile Bihar, we often come across the term "dikus". This term is refers to which of the following?

Adivasis Peasants Migrant traders and money-lenders None of these

Migrant traders and money-lenders

Within south Bihar, adivasis shared a common hatred of dikus – migrant traders and money-lenders who had settled in the area and grabbed its wealth, impoverishing the original residents. Most of the benefits from the mining and industrial projects in this mineral-rich region had gone to dikus even as adivasi lands had been alienated. Adivasi experiences of marginalisation and their sense of injustice were mobilised to create a shared Jharkhandi identity and inspire collective action that eventually led to the formation of a separate state.
