Determining the Chronological Order of Social Movements

To find the correct chronological order of the given social movements, we need to determine the approximate time period when each movement was launched or gained prominence.

1. Satyashodhak Samaj

The Satyashodhak Samaj (Truth-Seekers' Society) was founded by Jyotirao Phule in 1873 in Pune, Maharashtra. Its primary objective was to fight against caste discrimination and promote social equality for the lower castes and women.

2. Bardoli Satyagraha

The Bardoli Satyagraha was a major peasant revolt in the Bardoli taluk of Gujarat. It took place in 1928 and was led by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. This movement protested against excessive land revenue demands by the British government.

3. Chipko Movement

The Chipko Movement is a forest conservation movement that emerged in the Garhwal Himalayas (now in Uttarakhand). While it has earlier roots, its significant phase began in 1973, famously involving villagers hugging trees to prevent them from being cut down. It became a symbol of non-violent environmental activism.

Movement Timeline Summary

Movement Name Approximate Launch Year
Satyashodhak Samaj 1873
Bardoli Satyagraha 1928
Chipko Movement 1973

Establishing the Chronological Order

By comparing the launch years:

  • Satyashodhak Samaj started in 1873.
  • Bardoli Satyagraha occurred in 1928.
  • Chipko Movement gained prominence in 1973.

The earliest movement is Satyashodhak Samaj (1873), followed by Bardoli Satyagraha (1928), and the latest is the Chipko Movement (1973). Therefore, the correct chronological order, starting with the earliest, is:

  1. Satyashodhak Samaj (Movement 3)
  2. Bardoli Satyagraha (Movement 2)
  3. Chipko Movement (Movement 1)

This corresponds to the sequence 3, 2, 1.
