1921-1922

B.

1914-1915

C.

1923-1924

D.

1917-1919

Correct option is A


The correct answer is (a) 1921-1922.
· The Moplah Rebellion, also known as the Malabar Rebellion, took place between 1921-1922 in the Malabar region of Kerala, India. The rebellion was a significant uprising of the Muslim tenants (known as Moplahs or Mappilas) against the British authorities and the Hindu landlords (Jenmis). It originated from a combination of economic grievances, religious sentiments, and the impact of the Khilafat and Non-Cooperation movements. Initially, it started as an agitation for tenant rights but quickly evolved into a broader uprising against the British colonial rule.
Key points about the rebellion:
· The Moplahs were largely agricultural tenants who had faced years of exploitation by landlords and the colonial administration.
· The rebellion saw widespread violence and resulted in significant casualties, including both Moplahs and landlords.
· The British suppressed the rebellion using military force, and many rebels were either killed, imprisoned, or deported.
· The rebellion remains a controversial and debated chapter in Indian history due to its communal overtones and its role within the broader anti-colonial movements.
