Talking about the Deccan Riots of the 1870s, from where did the revolt in the Bombay Deccan region begin?

Supa

The correct answer is Option 1 - Supa

The revolt in the Bombay Deccan region began at 'SUPA', a large village in Poona.

Through the nineteenth century, peasants in various parts of India rose in revolt against moneylenders and grain dealers. One such revolt occurred in 1875 in the Deccan. The movement began at 'Supa', a large village in Poona (present-day Pune) district. It was a market center where many shopkeepers and moneylenders lived. On 12 May 1875, ryots from surrounding rural areas gathered and attacked the shopkeepers, demanding their bahi khatas (account books) and debt bonds. They burnt the khatas, looted grain shops, and in some cases set fire to the houses of sahukars. From Poona the revolt spread to Ahmednagar. Then over the next two months it spread even further, over an area of 6,500 square km. More than thirty villages were affected. Everywhere the pattern was the same: sahukars were attacked, account books burnt and debt bonds destroyed. Terrified of peasant attacks, the sahukars fled the villages, very often leaving their property and belongings behind.
