A. Complete abolition of the permanent settlement system
B. Two-thirds share of the harvested produce for themselves instead of one-half✓ Correct Answer
C. Direct ownership rights over all cultivable waste lands
D. Total exemption from agricultural taxation during famines
💡 Solution & Explanation
The Tebhaga Movement of 1946-47 in Bengal was organized by the All India Kisan Sabha, where sharecroppers agitated to retain two-thirds of the harvest while giving only one-third to the landlords, instead of the traditional half-share. This peasant uprising challenged the oppressive exploitation inherent in the jotedar-bargadar agrarian system. Distractor options regarding the permanent settlement or tax exemptions misstate the core economic grievance of the bargadars.
