Question

With reference to the history of India, Ulgulan or the Great Tumult is the description of which of the following events?

Accepted Answer

Munda Rebellion is one of the prominent 19th century tribal rebellions in the subcontinent. Birsa Munda led this movement in the region south of Ranchi in 1899-1900. The ulgulan, meaning 'Great Tumult', sought to establish Munda Raj and independence.The Mundas traditionally enjoyed a preferential rent rate as the khuntkattidar or the original clearer of the forest. But in the course of the 19th century, they had seen this khuntkatti land system being eroded by the jagirdars and thikadars coming as merchants and moneylenders.The government attempted to redress the grievances of the Mundas through the survey and settlement operations of 1902-10. The Chhotanagpur Tenancy Act of 1908 provided some recognition to their khuntkatti rights and banned beth begari. Chhotanagpur tribals won a degree of legal protection for their land rights.Source Attribution: Civil Rebellions and Tribal Uprising, Bipin Chandra - India's Struggle for Independence, Chapter 2
