Answer 1

Hint: Tana Bhagats were the group of tribal peoples of the state of Jharkhand. They started the Tana Bhagat Movement in the year 1914. These people followed the path of Mahatma Gandhi and believed in Ahimsa.

Complete answer:
Tana Bhagat Movement is a campaign which was started by the Jatra Oraon in the region of Chotanagpur and Jharkhand. The primary purpose of starting this movement was to oppose the tax system that was imposed by the British Government on the Indian people. For this purpose, he started the Satyagraha movement in which they opposed all the Zamindars, the Baniya peoples, the moneylenders, and the Britishers. These people were originally from the Oraon tribe. The people who joined the Tana Bhagat Movement were the families whose lands were auctioned by the Britishers. These people are very down to earth, and they believed more in agriculture practices rather than cattle rearing and poultry farming. They are more dependent on grains and vegetables. They used to wear Khadi dhoti of white colour and the turban, all of them used to apply Chandan on their forehead. These people were against using leather items and strictly prohibited the use of alcohol or smoking.
So. The correct answer is Option B.

Note: The Tana Bhagats launched the Civil Disobedience Movement or the Satyagraha before Gandhi's Civil Disobedience Movement. The community of Tana Bhagats were the first community who used to start their day by worshipping Indian Flag, instead of God or Goddesses. The Tana Bhagats Community also protested in Jharkhand with the demand of banning coal mining in Jharkhand.
