Why did the “Ratauna Satyagraha” take place in Sagar in 1920–21 A.D.?

Correct option is D

The correct answer is (d) Against the establishment of a slaughterhouse

Explanation:
• The "Ratauna Satyagraha" took place in Sagar district of Madhya Pradesh in 1920–21 A.D.
• The primary reason for the protest was against the establishment of a government-run slaughterhouse (butcher house) at Ratauna.
• Local residents, primarily Hindus who revered cows and the local religious sentiments, strongly opposed the government's decision to start cattle slaughtering operations in the area.
• The satyagraha involved non-violent protests, rallies, and demonstrations, reflecting the strong cultural and religious opposition to cattle slaughter in the region.
• The movement was a significant local agitation in the pre-independence era.

Information Booster:
• The satyagraha was one of the early instances of a non-cooperation style protest in the region before the larger national movements gained full momentum.
• The protests eventually succeeded in getting the government to reconsider or halt the plans for the slaughterhouse.
