Explanation:

1855-56: Santhal Uprising
The Santhal Rebellion occurred in 1855-56 in the Chotanagpur Plateau and Santhal Parganas of Bihar and Bengal. The Santhals, a tribal community, rebelled against oppressive land revenue policies, illegal land acquisitions, and other exploitative practices. It was one of the significant tribal uprisings against British rule in India.

1875: Ryots in Deccan villages rebel, Riots in Deccan
The reference to "Riots in Deccan" points to agrarian discontent and uprisings among the rural population, often referred to as ryots or peasants, in the Deccan region in 1875. These revolts were often triggered by issues such as oppressive land revenue policies, high taxes, and economic hardships faced by the rural communities.

American Civil War, 1861: When the American Civil War broke out in 1861, a wave of panic spread through cotton circles in Britain. Raw cotton imports from America fell to less than three per cent of the normal: from over 2,000,000 bales (of 400 lbs each) in 1861 to 55,000 bales in 1862.

Permanent Settlement was introduced in Bengal in 1793.
