Question

Assertion (A): In the areas where tribal populations are concentrated, their economic and social conditions are usually much worse than those of nontribals.

Reason (R): The impoverished and exploited circumstances under which adivasis live can be traced historically to the pattern of accelerated resource extraction started by the colonial British government which was discontinued by the government of independent India.

पर्याय

• A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

• Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

• A is true but R is false.

• A is false and R is true.

Answer 1

A is true but R is false.

Explanation:

It is true that tribal areas often face worse social and economic conditions than non-tribal ones. However, the reason is false because the exploitation of Adivasis continued even after independence; it was not discontinued by the Indian government.
