Answer» (a) The South Indian Liberal Federation was formed to promote the interests of non-Brahmins. (b) The Non-Brahmin Manifesto had objectives such as reservation of jobs for non-Brahmins in government service and seats in representative bodies. It opposed the Home Rule Movement and criticised Congress as a party of Brahmins. (c) EVR joined the non-Brahmin movement because he felt the Congress was promoting the interests of Brahmins alone. (d) A massive campaign was led by EVR against the introduction of Hindi as a compulsory subject in schools. The anti-Hindi agitation was popular because Hindi was considered a form of Aryan and North Indian imposition. EVR organized an anti-Hindi conference. More than ‘ 1200 protesters were arrested at a rally. The subject was later removed after protests. |
