Bijolia farmer movement MCQ — 2 Practice Questions with Answers

Explanation

The Chanwari tax is associated with the Bijolia thikana, a major grievance in the Bijolia farmer movement. It was among the many oppressive levies that peasants opposed in that region. Kuchaman and Didwana were important places in Rajasthan, but the Chanwari tax in this question is not credited to them. Bhainsrorgarh was another thikana, yet it is not the standard association for this levy. The printed key therefore correctly points to Bijolia, the centre of the well-known peasant agitation.

Explanation

Vijay Singh Pathik used the newspaper Pratap to bring the Bijolia farmer movement to national attention. Pratap, associated with nationalist journalism, gave space to peasant grievances and helped carry the issue beyond Rajasthan. Naveen Rajasthan and Tarun Rajasthan were also important public-awakening papers, but they are not the one asked for here in connection with Pathik's all-India propagation of Bijolia. Yugantar is linked more with revolutionary nationalist writing in Bengal, not with this Rajasthan peasant movement.
