Answer 2

The Saminist Movement:-
Around 1890, Surontiko Samin of Randublatung Village, which was a teak forest village, began questioning state ownership of the forest. He argued that the state had not created water, wind, earth and wood, so it could not own it. Soon a widespread movement developed. Among those who helped to organize the movement were Samin's Sons-in-law. By 1907, 3000 families were following his ideas. Some of the Saminist protested by lying down on their land when the Dutch came to survey it, while the others refused to pay taxes, fines or perform labour. It gained popularity as the Saminist Movement after the name of Surontiko Samin.
