  4. d.

    Bhil Uprisings

Explanation

  • Rampa Revolt: The hill tribesmen of Rampa in coastal Andhra revolted in 1879 against the depredations of the government-supported mansabdar and the new restrictive forest regulations. Only after a large military operation could the rebels be defeated in 1880.
  • Ramosi Risings: The Ramosis, the hill tribes of the Western Ghats, had not reconciled to the British rule and the British pattern of administration. They rose under Chittur Singh in 1822 and plundered the country around Satara. Again, there were eruptions in 1825-26 and the disturbances continued till 1829.
  • Munda Revolt: For over three decades, the Munda sardars of Chhotanagpur had been struggling against the destruction of their system of common land-holdings by the intrusion of jagirdars, thikadars (revenue farmers) and traders-moneylenders. During the last decade of the nineteenth century, the Mundas rose under Birsa Munda in a religious movement or rebellion ("ulgulan") with an agrarian and political content. They aimed to establish a Munda rule in the land by killing thikadars, jagirdars, rajas and hakims. To bring about the liberation, Birsa gathered Mundas armed with swords, spears, battle-axes, and bows and arrows. Birsa was, however, captured in 1900 and he died in jail the same year.
  • Bhil Uprisings: The Bhils, an aboriginal tribe concentrated around Khandesh, revolted against their new masters, the East India Company, fearing agrarian hardships and the worst under the new regime. One of their leaders was Sewaram. The Bhils revolted in 1817-19, and again in 1825, 1836 and 1846.
