The correct answer is Option 1 - 1875 The revolt was sparked by a combination of factors, including high taxes, crop failures, and debt peonage. The peasants were also angered by the British government's support for moneylenders, who were exploiting the peasants. The revolt began in the Supa village in the Pune district of Maharashtra and quickly spread to other villages in the Deccan region. The peasants attacked moneylenders' houses and shops, and they burned debt bonds and other documents. The British government responded by sending troops to the Deccan region. The troops crushed the revolt, but it was a sign of the growing discontent among the Indian people. The Deccan Revolt of 1875 was a significant event in the Indian independence movement. It showed that the Indian people were no longer willing to submit to British rule. The revolt also inspired other peasant movements in India. |
