Cevap

The Paika Rebellion of 1817 was an armed anti-British uprising in Odisha led by Bakshi Jagabandhu, caused mainly by oppressive land revenue policies and currency disruptions.
The Paika Rebellion of 1817 in Khurda, Odisha, was led by Bakshi Jagabandhu Bidyadhar against the British East India Company. The rebellion was fueled by the takeover of hereditary Paika rent-free lands, excessive land revenue demands, extortion by Bengali revenue collectors, and the disruption caused by demanding revenue payment in silver rather than local cowrie shells.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the historical context and leadership of the Paika Rebellion.
The Paikas were the traditional landed militia of Odisha. In 1817, under Bakshi Jagabandhu Bidyadhar (military commander of the King of Khurda), they revolted against British East India Company rule.
Establishing the core leadership and nature of the uprising isolates the correct historical fact.
2
Analyze the underlying economic causes of the 1817 revolt.
The British conquest of Odisha (1803) led to harsh revenue assessments, land confiscation from hereditary Paikas, and the replacement of the cowrie currency with silver currency demands.
Understanding key grievances allows validation of statement options.
3
Evaluate and eliminate incorrect distractor options based on historical chronology and context.
Disregard options attributing the revolt to 20th-century Gandhian movements, the 1878 Vernacular Press Act, or peaceful temple entry reforms.
Ensures distractors are correctly identified and rejected.
