The famous 'Tebhaga Movement' of 1946-47 in Bengal demanded:
A. Complete abolition of zamindari system without compensation
B. Reduction of sharecroppers' rent from one-half to one-third of the produce✓ Correct Answer
C. Immediate nationalization of tea plantations
D. Exemption from agricultural income tax for small peasants
💡 Solution & Explanation
The Tebhaga movement of 1946-47 was a revolutionary campaign initiated by the Kisan Sabha in Bengal demanding that sharecroppers receive two-thirds of the harvest instead of the traditional one-half. Rent reductions and abolition of intermediary burdens were central themes of peasant uprisings during the late colonial era. Alternative options describing the complete abolition of zamindari without compensation or immediate plantation nationalization misrepresent the core economic grievance of bargadars. This peasant struggle is frequently highlighted in modern Indian history syllabi.
