Question 3114
Singhpo's tribal uprising took place in which of the following states of British India?
Answer
Assam
Why?
The correct answer is Assam Key Points Singpho's Rebellion: Singpho's rebellion occurred in Assam against the British occupation of their region. The Singhphos resisted the Colonial Government in the early 1830s while the British were engaged in countering the Khasis. Although the initial rebellion of the Singphos in Assam in the early 1830s was quickly suppressed, they continued to organize further revolts. In 1839, an uprising led to the death of a British political agent. Chief Nirang Phidu spearheaded another uprising in 1843, which included an attack on the British garrison resulting in casualties among soldiers. In 1849, Khasma Singphos attacked a British settlement in Assam. Eventually, the British Government decisively quelled this insurgency. Therefore, option (c) accurately summarizes the historical events related to Singpho's rebellion.
