    Summary of the Tribal Rebellions during British India

    The Tribal population, being conservative,


    was interested in retaining the existing
    salient features of their society. Tribal
    movements were inspired by revolutionary
    tendencies. They wanted to make use of
    the situation to Hght and eliminate evils and
    ill-tendencies that existed in the
    contemporary tribal society. A complete
    summary of the Tribal Rebellions during
    British rule in India is discussed below:

    1. Peasant Uprising of
    Rangpur, Bengal (1783 AD)
    After 1757 AD, the British established their
    control over Bengal and they started
    extracting as much as possible from
    peasants through revenue contractors.
    When peasant’s grievances were not
    redressed by the company oOcials, they
    took the law in their hands. Under the
    leadership of Dirjinarain, they attacked the
    local cutcheries and storehouses of crops
    of local agents of the contractors and
    government oOcials. Both Hindus and
    Muslims fought side by side in the uprising.
    But the company's armed forces took
    control of the situation and suppressed the
    revolt.

    2. The Uprising of the Bhills (1818-31 AD)

    The Bhills were mostly concentrated in the


    hill ranges of Khandesh. The British
    occupation of Khandesh in 1818 AD
    enraged the Bhills because they were
    suspicious of the outsider’s incursion into
    their territory.

    3. The Rebellion at Mysore (1830-31 AD)

    It was started after the Hnal defeat of Tipu


    Sultan; the British imposed subsidiary
    alliance on the Mysore rulers in which they
    compelled the Mysore rulers to increase
    revenue. As a result, the Mysore rulers put
    Hnancial pressure to increase revenue
    demands from the Zamindars which was
    ultimately increased the burden of revenue
    on the cultivators. The peasants broke out
    against the despotic tendencies of the
    Zamindars in the province of Nagar under
    the leadership of Sardar Malla (Son of a
    common ryot of Kremsi). The British force
    regained control of Nagar from the rebel
    peasants and suppressed the revolt.

    Policy in India?

    4. The Kol Uprising (1831-32 AD)

    The Kols of Singhbhum enjoyed their


    sovereignty for long centuries under their
    chiefs. After the advent of the British East
    India Company, the sovereignty of Kol tribes
    penetrated by the British law and order
    which causes tensions among the tribal
    people. They got angry when British
    transfer tribal land to the outsiders like
    merchants and moneylenders which
    caused a great threat to the hereditary
    independent power of the tribal chiefs. They
    revolted the despotic law and order of the
    British East India Company. This uprising
    spread over Ranchi, Hazaribagh, Palamau
    and Manbhum. British East India Company
    ruthlessly suppressed the revolt and
    established their control over Kol tribal
    areas.

    5. The Mappila Uprising (1836-54 AD)

    Among all the peasant uprisings, it


    occupies an important place because this
    revolt challenges the colonial rule.
    Mappillas were the descendants of Arab
    settlers and converted Hindus who were
    cultivating tenants, landless labourers, petty
    traders and Hsherman. When British East
    India Company established their rule over
    Malabar Coast brought hardship in the life
    of the Mappilas especially through land
    revenue administration. They revolted
    against the state and landlords. The British
    armed forces swung into action to
    suppress the rebels but failed to subdue
    them for many years.

    6. The Santhal Rebellion (1855-56 AD)

    This revolt occurred in the Rajmahal hills of


    the Santhal region under the leadership of
    Sidhu and Kanhu. It began as a reaction
    against the outsiders, particularly landlords,
    police and moneylenders.

    7. The Ramosi Uprisings (1822-29 AD)

    It took place in two phases- Fist in 1822 AD


    under the leadership of Chittu Singh in 1822
    AD against the new pattern of British
    administration. The second phase of revolt
    took place between 1825-26 and 1829 AD.

    8. The Munda Uprising (1899-


    1900 AD)
    It took place in the Chhotanagpur region
    near Ranchi under the leadership of Birsa
    Munda. This revolt is also known as
    Ulgulan revolt which means ‘great
    commotion.

    9. Jatra Bhagat and Tana Bhagat


    Movement (1914 AD)

    This movement was started by Jatra


    Bhagat in 1914 AD. It was a movement for
    monotheism, abstention from meat, liquor
    and tribal dance. The Jatra Bhagat and
    Tana Bhagat movements stressed both
    anti-colonialism and internal reforms.

    The Tribal rebellion in India took place for


    social, cultural and political reasons,
    particularly against the acquisition of their
    land and exerted their rights over forest
    resources.
