1. The rebellion was launched under the leadership of Buddho Bhagat against the large-scale transfer of tribal lands to non-tribal merchants and landholders.
2. The geographic extent of the uprising encompassed major regions across Chota Nagpur, Singhbhum, Ranchi, and Hazaribagh.
3. As a direct administrative outcome to protect tribal land tenure immediately following the suppression of this revolt, the British colonial government enacted the Chota Nagpur Tenancy Act of 1908.

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

  2. B
    2 and 3 only
  3. C
    3 only
  4. D
    1, 2, and 3

Cevap

1 and 2 only
Statements 1 and 2 accurately state historical facts regarding the Kol Rebellion (1831–1832). The Kols of Chota Nagpur rose under leaders like Buddho Bhagat primarily due to land alienation caused by non-tribal contractors (Thikadars) and British taxation policies. The movement engulfed Ranchi, Singhbhum, Hazaribagh, and Palamau. Statement 3 is incorrect because the Chota Nagpur Tenancy Act was passed in 1908 following Birsa Munda's Ulgulan (1899–1900), not the Kol Rebellion.
