Answer:
(i) For plantation workers in Assam, freedom meant
the right to move freely in and out of the confined
space in which they were enclosed, and it meant
retaining a link with the village from which they
had come.
(ii) Under the Inland Emigration Act of 1859,
plantation workers were not permitted to leave
the tea gardens without permission, and in fact
they were rarely given such permission.
(iii) When they heard of the Non-Cooperation
Movement, thousands of workers defied the
authorities, left the plantations and headed home.
They believed that Gandhi Raj was coming and
everyone would be given land in their own villages.
(iv) When the tribals chanted Gandhiji’s name and
raised slogans demanding `Swatantra Bharat’,
they were also emotionally relating to an all-India
agitation.
(v) When they acted in the name of Mahatma
Gandhi, or linked their movement to that of the
Congress, they were identifying with a movement
which went beyond the limits of their immediate
locality.
