Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The chronological sequence of the rebellions is as follows: The Sanyasi and Fakir rebellion occurred earliest, spanning from approximately 1763 to 1800 in Bengal, triggered by British revenue policies and restrictions on pilgrims [t4, t7, t9]. This was followed by the Santhal rebellion (1855–1856), led by Sidhu and Kanhu against the oppression of zamindars and moneylenders in the Rajmahal hills [c1, c3]. Shortly after, the Indigo revolt (Nil Bidroha) took place in 1859–1860, where peasants in Bengal protested against forced indigo cultivation by European planters [t2, t5, t8]. Finally, the Birsa Munda rebellion (Ulgulan) occurred between 1899 and 1900 in the Chota Nagpur region, aimed at establishing Munda Raj and resisting the erosion of traditional land rights [c2, t2]. Therefore, the correct sequence is 3-1-2-4.
