Statements 1 and 2 are correct, while statement 3 is incorrect.
Statements 1 and 2 are correct. The Tana Bhagat Movement was initiated in 1914 by Jatra Bhagat among the Oraon tribe of Chota Nagpur. Initially a religious and social reform movement promoting vegetarianism and monotheism, it evolved into an agrarian political agitation. The movement integrated non-violent principles and joined hands with Mahatma Gandhi during the Non-Cooperation Movement. Statement 3 is incorrect because the Tana Bhagats strongly opposed British authorities and local feudal landlords, refusing to pay rent or contribute to British war funds during World War I.
