Which of the following statements is/are false?

Kol Uprising was led by Budhu Bhagat of Chota Nagpur.
Kol Uprising was against expansion of British rule on their lands and transfer of their lands to outsiders.
Both (A) and (B)
None of the above

The correct answer is C. Both (A) and (B).

The Kol uprising was a rebellion against the British East India Company that took place in the Chota Nagpur region of India from 1831 to 1832. The uprising was led by Budhu Bhagat, a Kol tribal leader, and was motivated by the Kols’ resentment of British rule. The Kols were particularly angered by the British practice of taking over their land and giving it to outsiders. The uprising was ultimately unsuccessful, but it did lead to some reforms on the part of the British.

Option A is false because Budhu Bhagat was not the only leader of the Kol uprising. Other leaders included Sidhu and Kanhu Murmu, who were brothers.

Option B is also false because the Kol uprising was not just against the expansion of British rule on their lands. It was also against the transfer of their lands to outsiders. The British had a policy of taking over land from the Kols and giving it to outsiders, such as zamindars (landowners) and missionaries. This policy angered the Kols and led to the uprising.
