Surajith Sinha has classified tribal movements into :

  • A.Reactionary, Conservative, Revisionary
  • B.Ethnic rebellion, reform movements, political autonomy movements, secessionist movements and agrarian unrest
  • C.Religious movements, insurgent movements and reform movements
  • D.Reformist, Revolutionary and Reactionary

Answer: B

Surajit Sinha classified tribal movements into ethnic rebellion, reform movements, political autonomy movements, secessionist movements and agrarian unrest.

Sinha's five-fold classification, discussed in Ghanshyam Shah's survey of social movements in India, groups tribal movements by their main thrust: ethnic rebellions against outsiders, internal reform movements, movements for political autonomy within India, movements seeking secession, and agrarian unrest over land and forest.

'Reformist, revolutionary and reactionary' and similar three-way lists are general typologies of social movements, not Sinha's scheme, and 'religious, insurgent and reform' omits the political and agrarian movements central to it.
