Difficulty: MediumRevolt of 1857, Peasant Struggles, and Tribal Uprisings

Arrange the following 19th-century peasant and tribal uprisings in British India in correct chronological order, from the earliest to the latest:

  1. 1Paika Rebellion led by Bakshi Jagabandhu
  2. 2Santhal Rebellion led by Sidhu and Kanhu Murmu
  3. 3Deccan Riots against oppressive moneylenders in Poona and Ahmednagar
  4. 4Munda Ulgulan (Great Tumult) led by Birsa Munda

Answer

The correct chronological sequence from earliest to latest is: Paika Rebellion (1817), Santhal Rebellion (1855–1856), Deccan Riots (1875), and Munda Ulgulan (1899–1900).
The correct sequence begins with the Paika Rebellion of 1817 in Odisha, followed by the Santhal Rebellion (1855–1856) in the Rajmahal Hills, then the Deccan Riots (1875) in Maharashtra, and concludes with the Munda Ulgulan (1899–1900) in Chota Nagpur.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the historical year/period for each uprising listed
Paika Rebellion occurred in 1817; Santhal Rebellion occurred in 1855–1856; Deccan Riots took place in 1875; Munda Ulgulan took place in 1899–1900.
Establishing the precise chronological timeframe of each uprising allows accurate chronological sequencing.
2
Arrange the events in increasing order of their occurrence years
1817 (Paika) → 1855–1856 (Santhal) → 1875 (Deccan Riots) → 1899–1900 (Munda Ulgulan).
This places the revolts strictly in historical sequence from the earliest uprising to the latest.
