The famous tribal revolt of _________ took place in 1906 in Assam against British policies.

The correct answer is Songram Sangma. Key Points Songram Sangma ​ One of the most important rebellions against the British in Assam in 1906 was led by Songram Sangma. The British's exploitation of the tribes deprives them of their traditional forest rights, which led to this revolt. The British forcibly relocated the tribal people who were dispersed within the deep forests to a small land where they could better control them. The tribal people relied on forests as a source of income, so the British laws governing forests had a significant impact on their lives. The British declared all forests to be state property and designated some as reserved, prohibiting tribal people from hunting, cultivating, or fruit-collecting in these areas.
