During the 1960s movement, the Bodos demanded for which separate state ?

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (C) Udayachal

Explanation:

• The Bodo movement in the 1960s was led by the Plains Tribals Council of Assam (PTCA).
• The primary demand of this movement was the creation of a separate union territory called 'Udayachal' for the plains tribes of Assam.
• The movement was sparked by concerns over land alienation and the need for political autonomy to protect tribal identity.
• This paved the way for future movements that eventually led to the demand for 'Bodoland'.

• The Bodo people are the largest ethnolinguistic group in the Brahmaputra valley.
• The Bodo Accord of 2003 led to the creation of the Bodoland Territorial Council (BTC).
• The updated Bodo Peace Accord was signed in January 2020.

• Arunachal – Refers to the existing state of Arunachal Pradesh, formerly NEFA.
• Bodochal – This was not a formal name used during the 1960s political movement.
• Purvanchal – Refers to a region in eastern Uttar Pradesh or a general term for the East, not Bodo territory.
