Correct answer: Bengal

Explanation: Correct Answer: (B) Bengal šŸ“š Explanation: The Tebhaga Movement was a powerful peasant struggle that erupted in Bengal in 1946. The sharecroppers (bargadars) demanded that they keep two-thirds (tebhaga) of the harvested crop, instead of the traditional half, giving only one-third to the landlords. The movement was led by the provincial wing of the All India Kisan Sabha. It was particularly strong in North Bengal and is considered one of the most significant agrarian movements in Indian history.
