पुढील दोनपैकी कोणते विधान अयोग्य आहे ?
(a) आंतरदेशीय स्थलांतर अधिनियम 1859 प्रमाणे आसाममधील चहा मळ्यातील कामगारांना मळे सोडून बिना परवानगी जाता यावयाचे नाही व अशी परवानगी क्वचितच मिळे.
(b) गांधीजींच्या असहकार चळवळीवरून त्यांनी सरकारला झुगारले. मळे सोडले व विनासायास घरी पोहोचले.

The correct answer is Option B (Only (b)).

Key Points:
• Assam Tea Plantation Workers and the Non-Cooperation Movement (1921):
• Inland Emigration Act of 1859: Statement (a) is correct. Under this draconian colonial law, bonded tea garden laborers in Assam were legally prohibited from leaving the tea estates without prior permission from British planters, a permission that was virtually never granted.
• The Exodus & Police Brutality (1921): Statement (b) is incorrect. Inspired by Mahatma Gandhi's call for Non-Cooperation, thousands of indentured plantation laborers in May 1921 defied British planters and fled the tea gardens heading towards their native villages. However, they did NOT reach home 'unscathed'! Stranded due to railway and steamer strikes at Chandpur (now Bangladesh), they were brutally lathicharged and fired upon by British Gurkha military police, resulting in severe casualties and the tragic Chandpur Massacre.
• Thus, statement (b) is incorrect (Option 2).
• Key Takeaway: Under the 1859 Act, Assam tea workers were bound to estates; during Non-Cooperation, their mass exodus was met with severe British police brutality.
