Read the passage given below and answer the following question .

Assertions of tribal identity are on the rise. This can be laid at the door of the emergence of a middle class within the tribal society. With the emergence of this class in particular, issues of culture, tradition, livelihood, even control over land and resources, as well as demands for a share in the benefits of the projects of modernity, have become an integral part of the articulation of identity among the tribes. There is, therefore, a new consciousness among tribes now, coming from its middle classes.

Consider the following statements:

Statement I: Demands relating to land and forests are exclusively environmental concerns.

Statement II: Ethnic-cultural identity can become an important basis for collective mobilisation.

Statement III: Different social groups within the same tribal community may participate in movements for different reasons.

Only Statements I and III are correct.

The correct answer is Option 2: Only Statements II and III are correct.

Statement I: Demands relating to land and forests are exclusively environmental concerns. Incorrect. Demands related to land and forests are not limited to environmental protection. They are primarily connected with livelihood, ownership and control over natural resources, economic security, and community rights. Although environmental conservation may also be associated with these demands, it is not their exclusive concern.

Statement II: Ethnic-cultural identity can become an important basis for collective mobilisation. Correct. Communities often unite to protect and promote their language, customs, traditions and cultural identity. Such concerns can become a strong basis for collective action and social movements.

Statement III: Different social groups within the same tribal community may participate in movements for different reasons. Correct. Tribal communities are not socially homogeneous. Differences in education, occupation and economic status can lead different sections of the same community to prioritise different issues. Some may focus on economic rights, while others may emphasise cultural recognition, even though all are participating in the broader movement.
