Question

Write the workers movement in the pre-independence movement

​

Answer 1

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.
