Q74 (IAS/1994) History & Culture › National Movement (1857–1947) › Peasant and tribal movements Answer Verified

Which one of the following upheavals took place in Bengal immediately after the Revolt of 1857 ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The Santhal uprising led by Sidhu and Kanhu took place in 1855–56, i.e., before the Revolt of 1857, and thus cannot be the movement that occurred immediately after 1857 [1]. The major agrarian agitation in Bengal that followed the Revolt of 1857 was the Indigo Disturbances (Neel Bidroha) of 1859–60, when peasant opposition to oppressive indigo planters erupted across various parts of Bengal, making it the upheaval immediately after 1857 among the choices given . Other options (Sanyasi rebellion and Pabna disturbances) belong to earlier or later periods and do not match the immediate post‑1857 timeframe represented by the Indigo disturbances.
