Question

Why did people move towards rebellion in the forest​

Answer 1

Answer:

The British control over Bengal after battles of Plassey and Buxar led to increase in land tax and exploitation of the peasants. Further, the Bengal Famine of 1770 led to drop in production and many Zamindars could not pay the taxes

British colonial rule in India precipitated a period of intense rebellion among the country's indigenous groups. Most tribal conflicts occurred in the British provinces, and many historians have documented how a host of colonial policies gave rise to widespread rural unrest and violence. In the post-independence period, many of the colonial-era policies that had caused revolt were not reformed, and tribal conflict continued in the form of the Naxalite insurgency.
