Answer:
Example-
Question 1.
Answer:
India is a welfare state in which everyone gets equal
opportunities. The main objective of the welfare state is to
make the life of the people happy. But this is possible if all the
existing beliefs and evils of society are removed. Only
socio-reform movements can remove them. But nothing can be
obtained only by making law. For this, reform is necessary for
society. For example, laws are present for child marriage, dowry
system, child labor, etc., but these things are common in our
country. All these things are obstacles to our country’s growth.
If we want to develop our society then socio reform movements
are necessary. That’s why socio reform movements are
necessary to bring changes in our society.

Answer:
Hundreds of tribes live all over India. They have their own
specific living style. They also have very limited needs. They are
very conscious about maintaining their culture and tribal
identity. If the tribal people observe that their culture is being
interfered with or their demands are overlooked or if there is any
danger in maintaining their tribal identity, then they generally
take the path of movement. Except this, the tribal people also
go for movement for a definite type of change due to the impact
of the other communities, religions, and classes. For example,
the tribal movement was started on the issue of the creation of
a separate state of Jharkhand for the tribals. Birsa Munda of
the Munda tribe started a movement against Christianity. Birsa
was known as the Birsa God in his Munda tribe. Just because of
his efforts, converted Christians of the Munda tribe came back
into the Hindu religion and started to perform Hindu practices
and customs.
