Options:

Santhal rebellion

Kol rebellion

Ramosi rebellion

Paika rebellion

Correct Answer:

Santhal rebellion

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 1- Santhal rebellion

The Santhal rebellion occurred between 1855-56.

The Santhal rebellion was a peasant uprising against the British East India Company and the zamindari system in present-day Jharkhand, India. The rebellion was sparked by the British government's introduction of the Permanent Settlement of 1793, which raised land taxes and made it difficult for the Santhal people to survive. The rebellion was also fueled by the zamindars' exploitation of the Santhal people.

The Santhal rebellion was led by four brothers - Sidhu, Kanhu, Chand, and Bhairav. The brothers claimed to have received a divine message from Thakur Bonga, the great spirit, to lead a rebellion against the British.

The Santhal rebellion was a long and bloody conflict. The British eventually defeated the rebels, but the rebellion had a significant impact on British rule in India. The rebellion showed the British that the Indian people were not willing to submit to their rule, and it helped to inspire other rebellions against the British.
