उत्तर
II, III, IV
Explanation:
- There was most definitely NO population shortage among the dominant castes. The population was sizable, which reinforces the dominant factor. They were able to easily rule thanks to their sizable population. Therefore, the first choice is incorrect.
- True land rights exist. They had a sizable population and were given land rights as a result of the post-independence partial land reforms. So, the second choice is the right one.
- The appropriate term is intermediate caste. These were middle-class castes that relied on the labour of the lower classes, particularly the untouchables, who were employed as cheap labour to cultivate and maintain their lands. As a result, the third choice is also accurate.
- the key function in local politics. They were given land rights and played a significant part in local politics, which gave them an advantage in the agrarian economy. They were very influential in local politics. As a result, the fourth choice is also accurate.
