How did state reservation of forests turn into a crisis of local legitimacy in the Bastar rebellion?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because local people saw the loss of rights without consent as unjust

A government may have legal authority on paper, but its rule may still lack local legitimacy if people do not see it as fair or acceptable. In Bastar, reservation restricted customary uses of forests and affected people who depended on them. If such rules were imposed without consultation or consent, local communities could experience them as an unjust seizure of rights rather than as a legitimate public decision.

Option A is correct because it connects legitimacy with consent and justice. Giving everyone government posts, granting complete self-rule or claiming that forest use had already stopped does not describe the situation. The crisis arose when official control conflicted with lived rights and local expectations. Resistance therefore challenged not only a policy, but also the authority’s claim to govern fairly.
