3 Coal Rebellion: Bengal
How many of the above pairs are correctly matched?

A.

Only one pair

B.

Only two pairs

C.

All three pairs

D.

None of the pairs

Correct option is D

The Correct answer is(d) None of the pairs
Explanation:
. Pair 1,  Sanyasi Rebellion: Chhotanagpur, is incorrectly matched. The Sanyasi Rebellion took place in the  Bengal province and parts of North Bihar (including Purnia).
. Pair 2,  Ho Rebellion and Chahar: Assam, is incorrectly matched. The Ho and Munda uprisings occurred in the  Chhotanagpur region (present-day Jharkhand and Odisha). The Chuar Rebellion (a likely interpretation of "Chahar" in this context) occurred in the Midnapore and Jungle Mahals districts of Bengal and Jharkhand.
. Pair 3,  Coal Rebellion: Bengal, is incorrectly matched. The  Kol Rebellion (likely "Coal" is a phonetic misspelling of "Kol") took place in the  Chhotanagpur plateau region (Ranchi, Hazaribagh, Palamau, and Manbhum districts). 
Information Booster:
. The Sanyasi and Fakir Rebellion was an early resistance movement against the British East India Company's oppressive taxation policies following the Bengal Famine of 1770.
. The Ho and Munda Uprisings (1820-1837) were primarily against British occupation of the Singhbhum region and new land revenue policies.
. The Kol Rebellion (1831-1832) was a major tribal revolt against economic exploitation by non-tribal outsiders ( dikus) and British administrative systems that alienated tribal land. 
Additional Knowledge:
Sanyasi Rebellion (Pair 1)
. The rebellion was concentrated in districts such as Murshidabad, Dinajpur, Rangpur, and Jalpaiguri forests in Bengal. 
Ho Rebellion and Chahar/Chuar (Pair 2)
. The Ho people are an Austroasiatic Munda ethnic group primarily found in Jharkhand and Odisha.
. The Chuar Rebellion occurred in the Jungle Mahals of Bengal and Jharkhand. 
Coal/Kol Rebellion (Pair 3)
. The Kol uprising was centered in the Chhotanagpur region of modern Jharkhand, not Bengal.
. The term "Kol" was a collective term used by the British for various tribes in the area including Mundas, Oraons, Hos, and Bhumijs.
