How did Samin non-cooperation challenge the everyday power of the colonial state?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: By rejecting demands such as taxes, fines and labour

Samin followers challenged colonial authority through everyday non-cooperation rather than through a formal battle. They questioned the state’s right to demand taxes, fines, compulsory labour, and obedience. By refusing to accept such demands, they made it difficult for officials to exercise control in villages. This method also showed that ordinary people could resist an unfair system through collective discipline and peaceful action.

Option A is correct because rejecting taxes, fines, and labour directly weakened the daily functioning of the colonial administration. Paying extra taxes would strengthen the authorities, and increasing teak cutting would support colonial forest policies. Promoting forest laws would also help the state, not challenge it. The example teaches that resistance can operate through refusal and non-cooperation in ordinary social and economic activities.
