Question

how did bhumkal rebellion fail?

Answer 1

The history of political developments in Bastar State during colonialism can provide insights into explaining some of these other conflicts across British colonial Asia. The case of Bastar foremost prompts a fundamental question: was indirect rule in the British empire truly indirect, or was it merely a facade hiding the creeping influence of colonial administrators? If Bastar provides a preliminary answer, colonialism may be responsible for violence occurring even beyond the borders of direct rule. And whether the post-colonial leaders of states like Myanmar and Malaysia have dealt better with their colonial inheritances than the politicians of modern India is a question that will go a long way towards determining whether contemporary violence persists.
