Detailed Solution

The above statement is correct.
For plantation workers in Assam, freedom meant having the ability to enter and exit the little space they were confined without restriction and maintaining a connection to their hometown. In reality, no permission to go out was granted. Plantation labourers were prohibited from leaving the tea gardens under the Inland Emigration Act of 1859. Eventually, thousands of employees disobeyed the government, abandoned the plantations, and returned home after learning about the Non-Cooperation Movement. They thought the Gandhi Raj would soon arrive and provide everyone with land in their villages. But they were never able to get there. A railway and steamer strike left them stranded on the route when they were discovered by the police and were beaten up.
