Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (a) the reduction of the share of the landlords from one-half of the crop to one-third
The Tebhaga agitation demanded that share-croppers (bargadars) keep two-thirds of the harvest and give only one-third to the jotedar landlord—i.e., reduce the landlord’s share from one-half to one-third. Options on zamindari abolition, land ownership or debt-waiver were not part of this specific movement. ([aiduva.com](https://aiduva.com/upsc/tebhaga-peasant-movement-bengal-demands-prelims-2013/))
