Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Kurichya rebellion was led by the Kurichya and Kurumba tribes of the Wayanad region ofKerela. It was a tribal insurgency against the British and was led by Rama Nambi. The causes of the revolt were:

1. Imposition of heavy taxes by the British: The taxes were imposed on whatever goods the tribal communities produced, collected or gathered from the forest.

2. Compulsion for paying the tax in cash: the tribal communities had to cover their dues in cash, and kind (berries, fruits, wood etc.) were not accepted.

3. Seizing of agricultural land for non-payment of taxes, which was seen as absurd, considering that the communities had farmed on these lands for ages and generations.
