Introduction:-
The Kols are tribal inhabitants of the Chota Nagpur region, part of Bengal Presidency during the British rule in India. They comprised of the Kols, Bhils, Hoes, Mundas and Oraons tribes. The Kols feared that their independence would be threatened by the Britishers and so, in order to resist the British invasion, the Kols rose in rebellion in 1831.
The leaders of the rebellion were Buddhu Bhagat, Joa Bhagat and Madara Mahato.
Causes of the Revolt :-
Course of Revolt :-
In 1820, the king of Porhat agreed to pay huge taxes to the British government, but the Kols refused the agreement and broke into a rebellion. The British showed their support to the King by sending in troops in order to suppress the rebellion.
The Kols with their traditional bows and arrows faced the British troops armed with modern weapons. Even though they put up a brave fight, the British succeeded to suppress them in no time. The traditional weapons could not match up with the British army’s sophisticated modern weapons.
The Mundas then joined the Kols in this rebellion.
The Kols rose again in 1831. The Chhota Nagpur region was leased out to Hindu, Muslim and Sikh money-lenders for revenue collection.
Their oppressive tactics, high revenue rates, British judicial and revenue policies devastated the traditional social framework of the Kols.
They gathered under Bir Budhu Bhagat, Joa Bhagat, Jhindrai Manki and Sui Munda. In 1831, Munda and Oraon peasants first took up arms against the British.
It encouraged tribals in Singbhum, Manbhum, Hazaribagh and Palamou.
Suppression of the Revolt :-
