Which of the following pairs of Rebellion and Its Respective Year is NOT correctly matched?

The correct answer is D. The Ahom revolt led by Gomdhar Konwar, an Ahom prince, broke out in 1828 against British rule in Upper Assam, which the East India Company had taken over after the Treaty of Yandabo (1826). So 1815 is the wrong date.

• A (Santhal, 1855): Correct. The Santhal Hul, led by Sido and Kanhu, broke out in 1855 in the Damin-i-Koh region against moneylenders, zamindars and the colonial revenue system.
• B (Kol, 1831): Correct. The Kol uprising of 1831-32 in Chotanagpur was against outsider landlords, moneylenders and jagirdari encroachment on tribal land.
• C (Khasi, 1829): Correct. The Khasi uprising under U Tirot Sing began in 1829 over road-building through their territory and was crushed by 1833.

The core concept is tribal resistance to colonial land, revenue and forest policy. For Mains GS-I, link it to how the Santhal and Kol revolts shaped the Santhal Parganas Tenancy Act and later tribal protection laws.

Trap: Aspirants often remember the 1850s as the peak of tribal revolts and assume every date in this list falls there. Check each year against its region: the Kol and Khasi revolts come from the 1830s, and the Ahom revolt from 1828.
