The Phulaguri Dhawa (1861) in Assam was a peasant uprising that was directly an outcome of the British opium policy, alongside other grievances like taxation on betel leaf. The British government had imposed heavy taxes and restrictions on local opium cultivation, which was widely practiced by the tribal people for personal consumption and medicinal purposes.

This uprising is known for its direct link to peasant resistance against the British government’s intervention in the traditional practice of opium cultivation and its taxation policies.

The Birsaite Ulgulan was a tribal revolt led by Birsa Munda against land alienation and forest laws in the Chota Nagpur region. The Pabna Revolt was an agrarian unrest in Bengal primarily against the oppressive practices of zamindars. The Maratha Peasant Uprising (Deccan Riots) was against moneylenders and the high land revenue demands in the Deccan region.
