iv. Important Peasant Movements

Narkelberia Uprising (1782-1831) [Bengal] 

  • Mir Nithar Ali, also known as Titu Mir, inspired the Muslim tenants to rise against landlords, (primarily Hindu, who imposed a beard tax on the Faraizis), and British indigo planters.
  • It is often considered the first armed peasant uprising against the British.
  • The revolt evolved into a religious conflict and merged into the Wahabi Movement, which had broader religious and socio-political objectives.

Pagal Panthis (1825-1835) [North East India]

  • It was a semi-religious group in the Mymensingh district, primarily consisting of the Hajong and Garo tribes. It was founded by Karam Shah.
  • Tribal peasants, led by Karam Shah’s son Tipu, organized to resist zamindar oppression. They refused to pay rent beyond a specified limit and actively attacked the houses of zamindars.
  • The government introduced an equitable arrangement to protect the rights of the tribal peasants, but it was violently suppressed.

Moplah Uprisings (1836-1854)

  • Twenty-two rebellions took place during these years.
  • Causes included high revenue demand, reduction of field size and oppression by the british officials.
  • Note: The Second Moplah uprising occurred in 1921.
