Tribal Revolts Against Britishers

• The question asks to identify which of the given options represent tribal revolts against the British in India.

• Bhil Revolt: The Bhils, a tribal community primarily in western India, revolted multiple times against British rule, notably in the 1810s and later in the 1850s. These uprisings were often in response to British interference in their territories, land revenue policies, and recruitment practices.

• Kurichiya Revolt: This significant tribal uprising took place in the Wayanad region of Kerala in 1812. The Kurichiya and Kuruma communities revolted against the oppressive land revenue policies and exploitation by moneylenders and revenue officials under British authority. It was a major peasant and tribal movement in South India.

• Santhal Rebellion: Also known as the Santhal Hul, this was one of the largest tribal uprisings in British India, occurring between 1855 and 1856. The Santhals, a large tribal group from present-day Jharkhand, Bihar, and West Bengal, revolted against the exploitation by zamindars, moneylenders, and the British revenue system. The rebellion was brutally suppressed by the British.

• RIN Revolt: The Royal Indian Navy (RIN) Revolt occurred in 1946 in British India. It was a mutiny by Indian sailors of the RIN against their British officers. This was a significant event in the final years of British rule but was not a tribal revolt; it was a naval mutiny.
