The Faraizi movement was a religious and social reform movement founded by Haji Shariatullah in Bengal in 1818. It aimed to revive and reform Islam by purging it of un-Islamic practices and by promoting social and economic justice.
The correct answer to the question is option 'C', which states that the Faraizi movement was founded to protect the right of tenants.
Reasons why option 'C' is the correct answer:
1. The Faraizi movement was primarily a social and economic reform movement that sought to protect the rights of tenants and peasants who were being exploited by the landed aristocracy.
2. Haji Shariatullah, the founder of the movement, was a prominent landowner himself and was deeply concerned about the plight of his fellow tenants who were suffering from high rents, arbitrary evictions, and other forms of oppression.
3. He used his religious authority and charisma to mobilize the people and to promote the principles of social and economic justice.
4. The Faraizis demanded that landlords should not charge more than one-third of the produce as rent, and that they should provide basic facilities to their tenants such as irrigation, roads, and schools.
5. They also opposed the system of intermediaries and demanded the direct settlement of land revenue between the peasants and the government.
6. Although the Faraizi movement had a religious dimension and sought to reform Islam, its primary focus was on social and economic justice, and it sought to achieve this through political mobilization and collective action.
In conclusion, while the Faraizi movement did promote religious and cultural reforms, its main objective was to protect the rights of tenants and peasants, and to promote social and economic justice. Therefore, option 'C' is the correct answer to the question.
