What does the survival of a folk hero's memory despite repression in the Bastar rebellion prove?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: State repression could not completely erase memory and symbolic resistance

A folk hero’s memory is part of the way communities preserve and interpret their history. Colonial authorities could use force, arrests, and punishment to suppress a rebellion, but they could not necessarily remove the people’s respect for its leaders or their understanding of the injustice that caused the struggle. Memory can therefore keep the meaning of resistance alive even after open action has ended.

Option A is correct because it says that state repression could not completely erase memory and symbolic resistance. The continued remembrance of a leader shows that people retained a shared symbol of courage and opposition. Options B and C contradict this idea, while D wrongly separates popular memory from history; oral traditions and local memories are valuable evidence about how people experienced the past.
