Correct Answer:
A. Against Hindu landlords and British indigo planters
Titu Mir's movement, also known as the Barasat Uprising (1831), was a significant socio-religious and economic reform movement among Muslims in Bengal during the early 19th century. Its primary objective was to resist the oppressive practices faced by Muslim peasants. The movement was mainly aimed against Hindu landlords (zamindars) and British indigo planters who exploited the local populace through exorbitant taxes and forced cultivation, coupled with religious persecution. Titu Mir sought to restore Islamic practices and challenge the prevailing injustices.
- Option B, "Working against Indian national movement," is incorrect because Titu Mir's movement predates the organized Indian national movement and had distinct, localized grievances.
- Option C, "Polygamy," was not the central focus of Titu Mir's struggle; his movement was primarily concerned with economic exploitation and religious identity.
The movement highlighted the intersection of religious identity and economic grievances.
