If a colonial record calls Bastar rebels merely troublemakers what is the most appropriate historiographical response?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Examining the record's language in relation to local grievances and the perspective of power

Colonial officials often described resistance to their rule as ‘disturbance’ or criminal activity; therefore, such a record cannot automatically be treated as a neutral account. A sound historiographical response is to examine its language, the writer’s position, and colonial interests alongside local grievances, forest rights, and other sources. Option C is also incorrect because local memories should be critically evaluated, not dismissed outright. Exam tip: when analysing a source, consider its author, purpose, bias, and the voices it leaves out.
