Answer
(I) is true but (II) IS false
Explanation:
Statement (I) is true — the revolts were local, scattered and isolated, but they did establish a tradition of struggle against foreign rule.
Statement (II) is false — it claims that British policies harmed all segments of Indian society. This is incorrect because some sections like moneylenders, big merchants and some zamindars remained loyal to the British and were not affected equally. Hence, the revolts did not represent the grievances of every segment of society.
