About Tribal and Peasant Uprisings

Long before the Indian National Congress led the fight for independence, tribal communities and ordinary peasants were already rising up against colonial rule and its harsh new demands on land and labour. This quiz covers that whole story, from the forests of Chotanagpur to the indigo fields of Bengal.

It starts with early tribal revolts, the Kol uprising, the Khasi resistance under Tirot Sing, and the Bhil movement that ended in the Mangarh massacre. It gives real depth to the Santhal Hul of 1855, led by the brothers Sidhu and Kanhu Murmu, and to Birsa Munda's Ulgulan of 1899, alongside the Kuki Rebellion, the Tana Bhagat movement, and Alluri Sitarama Raju's Rampa Rebellion.

The quiz then turns to the peasants themselves: the Indigo Revolt that inspired a famous play, the Pabna and Deccan agrarian unrest, and the Moplah Rebellion of Malabar. It closes with the movements that helped shape Gandhi's own method of satyagraha, Champaran, Kheda, and Bardoli, and with the organised peasant struggles of the Kisan Sabha, the Tebhaga movement, and the Telangana uprising against the Nizam.
