Correct Option (A):
The Tebhaga Peasant Movement, which took place in Bengal during 1946-47, was a significant agrarian struggle. Its central demand was for the reduction of the landlord's share of the agricultural produce from one-half to one-third. The movement aimed to ensure that sharecroppers, known as bargadars, would retain two-thirds (tebhaga) of the crop they cultivated, thereby reducing the exploitative share previously taken by landowners.
Incorrect Options:
- Option 2: The Tebhaga Movement primarily focused on the division of the crop share, not on the complete transfer of land ownership to the peasants.
- Option 3: While the Zamindari system was a broader issue of land tenure, the specific demand of the Tebhaga Movement was a fairer crop division for sharecroppers, not the outright abolition of the Zamindari system or the end of serfdom.
- Option 4: The movement's objective was related to the sharecropping system and the distribution of agricultural produce, not the relief or writing off of peasant debts.
