    Correct answer

Explanation

  • Kandh Uprising (1837-56): This covered Ghumsar, Chinaki-Medi, Kalahandi and Patna (Jharkhand and Bihar). The Kandhs retaliated under Chakra Bisoi against the British efforts to put an end to the Kandh's practice of human sacrifice (mariah), first through persuasion and later through force.

The Kandhs fought with tangis — a sort of battle axe — bows and arrows and even swords.

  • Santhal Rising: The Santhals of Rajmahal Hills resented the oppression by revenue officials, police, money-lenders, and landlords — in general, by the "outsiders' (whom they called diku).

The Santhals, under Sido and Kanhu, rose up against their oppressors, declared the end of the Company's rule and asserted themselves independent in 1854. It was only in 1856, after extensive military operations that the situation was brought under control. Sido died in 1855, while Kanhu was arrested in 1866. A separate district of Santhal Pargana was created by the Government to pacify the Santhals.

  • Khasi Uprising After having occupied the hilly region between Garo and Jaintia Hills, the East India Company wanted to build a road linking the Brahmaputra Valley with Sylhet. For this, a large number of outsiders, including Englishmen, Bengalis and the labourers from the plains were brought to these regions.
  • The Khasis, Garos, Khamptis and the Singhpos organised themselves under Tirath Singh to drive away the strangers from the plains. The uprising developed into a popular revolt against the British rule in the area. By 1833, the superior English military force had suppressed the revolt.
