Q. Which tribal movement in Bihar was known for practicing Satyagraha (non-violent resistance) before Mahatma Gandhi popularized it?
Answer:
Tana Bhagat Movement
Notes: The Tana Bhagat Movement (1914–1920), led by the Oraon tribe in Bihar’s Chhotanagpur, adopted Satyagraha and non-violence against British rule and exploiters. It predates Gandhi’s methods and later merged with the Indian nationalist non-cooperation movement in 1920.
