Explanation

The Santhal Rebellion (Santal Hool) occurred in 1855–56; it was suppressed by 1856 after an uprising under Sidhu and Kanhu against zamindars and Company rule [1]. The Mutiny of the Sepoys (the Great Rebellion) erupted in 1857, beginning with incidents like Mangal Pandey in January and major uprisings in May 1857 that captured Delhi [2]. The Indigo Revolt (Nil Bidroha) followed in 1859–60 as a peasant revolt against exploitative indigo planters in Bengal. The Deccan (or Deccan) Riots occurred later, in 1875, making the chronological sequence: Santhal (II), Sepoys (IV), Indigo (I), Deccan Riots (III).
