Answer:
During the colonial period, it was in Chota nagpur region that the tribal people declared a war against the Britishers. They fought for their land, resources and also for their rights.
Under Ganesh Chandra Ghosh, Ranchi was used as the command post. for revolutionary campaigns, and two meetings between Sir Edward Albert and Mahatma Gandhi were held in 1917 at Ranchi
Sylhet played a strategically important role for the British to conquer Upper Myanmar(Burma) and Northeast India.
After India's independence in 1947, Manipur was the last state to be transferred to the Maharaja of Manipur. This incident marked the end of British rule in India.
In 1871, the Britishers shifted the capital of Tripura to Agartal, which still serves the same status.
