The Bastar rebellion was related to what kind of resource conflict?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Conflict over rights to forest resources
The Bastar rebellion was mainly a struggle over the rights and access of forest-dependent people. Colonial forest rules restricted customary activities such as collecting forest produce, grazing animals and using forest land. These changes threatened food, livelihood and community traditions. Therefore, the central issue was control over forest resources, not an unrelated activity such as sea-pearl collection, coal-mining wages or cloth export.
Option A is correct because it directly describes the conflict between local communities and colonial authorities over forests. The other choices belong to different economic or geographical matters and do not explain why Bastar's forest communities resisted. The rebellion should thus be understood as a resource-rights movement connected with livelihood, customary use and opposition to colonial forest control.
