CJune 1859

DJuly 1851

Answer:

B. July 1859

Read Explanation:

  • The Channar Agitation, also known as the Channar Revolt or Channar Uprising, achieved its objectives in 1859.

  • This historic movement, led by Nadar women of the Travancore kingdom, fought against the caste-based prohibition that prevented lower-caste women from covering their upper bodies. After decades of resistance (from 1813 to 1859), the struggle culminated successfully when the Travancore King Uthram Thirunal Marthanda Varma issued a royal proclamation on July 26, 1859, granting Nadar women the right to wear upper garments, marking the achievement of their demands.
