Which of the given tribal uprisings did NOT take place around the unrest during the Revolt of 1857?

Correct option is D

The correct answer is: (D) Birsa Munda Revolt

• Birsa Munda Revolt (also known as the Ulgulan or the Munda Rebellion) took place between 1899 and 1900, much after the Revolt of 1857.

• This revolt, led by Birsa Munda, was primarily against the British and zamindars who were exploiting the tribal people of the Chotanagpur Plateau (modern-day Jharkhand). The Munda tribe's struggle focused on the demand for self-rule and the protection of their land and cultural practices.

• The Revolt of 1857 was a massive uprising against British rule, and several tribal uprisings during this time were in response to the growing British presence and exploitation.

• Other options:

  • Naikda Movement: Took place in Gujarat in 1859, protesting against British encroachments.

  • Rebellion of Sambalpur: Took place in 1857 in the Sambalpur region, as part of the broader unrest.

  • Santhal Rebellion: Occurred between 1855-1856, and was one of the largest tribal uprisings in India, against the exploitation by zamindars, British officers, and the land revenue system.
