Who viewed Indian peasantry as docile and not capable for independent action ?
Answer: C
The view that the Indian peasantry was docile and incapable of independent action is Barrington Moore Jr.'s.
In Social Origins of Dictatorship and Democracy (1966) Moore compared India with China and argued that Indian peasants, held in place by the caste system and the village order, had shown little capacity for large-scale independent revolt.
Indian scholars such as A.R. Desai and Kathleen Gough answered him by documenting a long history of peasant rebellions. Teodor Shanin studied the Russian peasantry as a class, and Partha Mukherjee wrote on agrarian movements, so neither held this view.
