Explanation
The peasant movements in colonial India were often localized responses to agrarian distress and British administrative policies. The Mappila outbreaks occurred in the Malabar region of Kerala, driven by economic grievances of Muslim tenants against Hindu landlords and British officials. The Ramosi peasant force was organized in Maharashtra, specifically around Satara and Poona, by hill tribes who lost their livelihoods following the British annexation of Maratha territories [1]. The Kuka revolt, also known as the Namdhari movement, was a significant socio-religious and political uprising in the Punjab region. The Pabna revolt was an agrarian movement in Eastern Bengal during the 1870s and 1880s, where peasants protested against the oppressive practices of zamindars [2]. Matching these gives: A-3 (Malabar), B-1 (Maharashtra), C-4 (Punjab), and D-2 (Bengal), which corresponds to the code 3 1 4 2.
