Read the following statements and mark the correct option: Assertion (A): Rani Gaidinliu continued the Heraka movement after the death of Jadonang. Reason (R): She aimed to convert the movement into a mass literacy campaign among Nagas.
A is true, but R is false.
Rani Gaidinliu was a Naga spiritual and political leader who played a significant role in the Heraka movement, which combined religious reform with resistance to British colonial rule.
Assertion (A) is true: after the execution of Jadonang in 1931, Rani Gaidinliu took over leadership of the Heraka movement and continued it among the Naga people.
Reason (R) is false: her aim was not to convert the movement into a mass literacy campaign, but rather to continue its religious revivalist and anti-colonial political character, encouraging resistance against British authority and tax collection.
Since the reason misrepresents the actual purpose of her leadership, it does not correctly explain the assertion.
Hence, the answer is A is true, but R is false.
