Explanation:
Answer:
As per the Emigration Act, plantation workers were not permitted to leave the garden without permission, or they were rarely given such permission.
As per plantation workers in Assam, freedom means right to move freely in and out of the places in which they were enclosed and it also meant extending or keeping a link with the village from which they had come.
When they heard of non-cooperation movement, thousands of workers defied the authorities, left the plantation,and headed home.
When the Police got informed of such activities, they invaded the train or vehicle in which they were travelling, stranded them on railways and brutally murdered and tortured them.
