Participation of communities like Dhurwa and Muria strengthens which aspect of the Bastar rebellion?

Correct answer: It was a broad resistance of tribal and rural society

The direct answer is A: it was a broad resistance of tribal and rural society. The participation of Dhurwa, Muria, and other local communities shows that the Bastar rebellion was connected to the lives of many forest-dependent people. Their complaints included forest restrictions, loss of customary rights, forced labour, and other pressures. Option A is correct because community participation gives a movement a wide social base and shows that it was not limited to one official, one family, or one small group. Option B is wrong because the event was not only an urban labour movement; Bastar was a forest region and rural communities were central. Option C is wrong because foreign soldiers were not the main social force in this rebellion. Option D is wrong because it was not merely a palace conspiracy; ordinary communities participated. The reasoning is: named local communities took part, therefore the resistance had a broad tribal and rural character. Exam cue: when several communities are mentioned, connect them with social participation and a wide base.
