Note: The given answer is as per the official NTA Answer Key. It follows the Sociology NCERT, which dates the ‘Deccan riots’ to 1857. On the other hand, the History NCERT (2025-26) of Class 12, in the chapter ‘Colonialism and the Countryside’, dates the revolt to 1875. Thus two different dates are given in two different NCERTs; we have to answer the question according to the NCERT for which we are attempting the paper. The 5 and the 7 swap places between the two books; in a Sociology paper, the Sociology book’s 1857 wins.
NCERT (2025-26): “8.5 Class Based Movements … Peasant movements or agrarian struggles have taken place from pre-colonial days. The movements in the period between 1858 and 1914 tended to remain localised, disjointed and confined to particular grievances. Well-known are the Bengal revolt of 1859-62 against the indigo plantation system and the ‘Deccan riots’ of 1857 against moneylenders. Some of these issues continued into the following period, and under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi became partially linked to the Independence movement. For instance, the Bardoli Satyagraha (1928, Surat District) a ‘non-tax’ campaign as part of the nationwide non-cooperation movement, a campaign of refusal to pay land revenue and the Champaran Satyagraha (1917–18) directed against indigo plantations.…” “…At the time of Independence, we had the two most classical cases of peasant movements, namely the Tebhaga movement (1946–47) and the Telangana movement (1946–51). The first was a struggle of sharecroppers in Bengal in North Bihar for two thirds share of their produce instead of the customary half.…” |
