Kamma caste

Both and b

None of the above

Explanation:

- The peasantry in the Telangana region was oppressed under the jagirdari system, where jagirdars (landlords) had control over land and extracted heavy rents from peasants.

- Most peasants and agricultural laborers in Telangana were from the lower castes, mainly Scheduled Castes and Backward Castes like Madiga, Mala, Lambada, etc.

- The Reddy and Kamma castes were generally major landowning communities and often held positions as jagirdars or big landlords, not peasants or laborers.

- Option 1 (Reddy caste) and Option 2 (Kamma caste) are both incorrect, as these castes were not the primary peasantry/labor force.

- Option 3 (Both and b) is also incorrect.

- Option 4 (None of the above) is the correct answer since neither Reddy nor Kamma castes were mainly peasants under the jagirdari system.

Option 4: None of the above is correct.
