Read the following statements and mark the correct option:
Assertion (A): Alluri Sitarama Raju led the Rampa Rebellion against the British.
Reason (R): He protested against the forest laws that restricted tribal access to resources.
Evaluating Assertion (A): Rampa Rebellion Leadership
Assertion (A) states that Alluri Sitarama Raju led the Rampa Rebellion against the British. Historical records confirm that Alluri Sitarama Raju was indeed the prominent leader of the Rampa Rebellion (also known as the Manyam Rebellion) which took place in the Godavari Agency tract of Madras Presidency between 1922 and 1924.
Therefore, Assertion (A) is true.
Evaluating Reason (R): Protest Against Forest Laws
Reason (R) states that Alluri Sitarama Raju protested against forest laws restricting tribal access to resources. The rebellion was largely a response to the oppressive Forest Acts enacted by the British government. These laws curtailed the traditional rights of the tribal communities, including their access to forests for podu (shifting cultivation) and collection of minor forest produce.
Therefore, Reason (R) is true.
Assessing Explanation Linkage
The forest laws, which restricted tribal access to essential resources, were the primary grievance that ignited the Rampa Rebellion. Alluri Sitarama Raju channeled the tribal discontent against these laws into an organized armed resistance.
Thus, the protest against forest laws (R) is the direct cause and correct explanation for the Rampa Rebellion led by Alluri Sitarama Raju (A).
Conclusion
- Assertion (A) is true.
- Reason (R) is true.
- Reason (R) correctly explains Assertion (A).
The correct option is the one stating that both assertions are true and the reason provides the correct explanation for the assertion.
