Answer 1

Answer:

==>What were the main features of the Chuar rebellion? The independent Chuar tribals revolted to save their forest resources and land from the landlords supported by the British. It was the fight to maintain their rights over the forest. It was anti-british, anti-zamindari and anti-exploitation in nature.

Explanation:

==>The Chuar Rebellion was a series of revolts between 1771 and 1809 by the inhabitants of hills and forests of old Manbhum, Bankura and Midnapore (an area now mostly in West Bengal, India). Such people generally lived off the jungles and a sort of primitive agriculture.[1]"It was one of the earliest peasant rebellions against the highly exploitative land revenue policies of the British rulers and was brutally crushed".[2]

Location

Midnapore, Bankura, Manbhum in Colonial India

Motive

Oppose exploitative land revenue policies

Participants

Village/ jungle folk and East India Company

Outcome

Suppression of the rebellion

Prior to the arrival of the British, these jungle areas were not directly ruled by the Mughal rulers. Local rulers, who paid some tribute to the Mughals, had control over the area. In turn the local rulers gave the jungle folk tax free lands against protection they provided to the rulers of the area. These people were called ‘Paiks’ meaning guard or police in Bengali. The East India Company forced the local rulers to collect taxes from these people. When they broke out in violent rebellion, they were despised as ‘Chuars’ meaning uncivilised in Bengali.[3][2]
