The correct answer is: C. Buddhu Bhagat
Buddhu Bhagat was a tribal leader who initiated the Kol uprising in 1831-32. The uprising was a revolt against the British East India Company, which had been exploiting the Kol people for years. The uprising was unsuccessful, but it is remembered as an important event in the history of the Indian independence movement.
Bhagvat was born in the village of Jhumra in the Singhbhum district of Jharkhand. He was a member of the Kol tribe, which was one of the many tribal groups that were exploited by the British. The British had imposed heavy taxes on the Kol people, and they had also taken away their land. This led to widespread poverty and resentment among the Kol people.
In 1831, Bhagat began to preach a message of resistance to the British. He told the Kol people that they should rise up against the British and overthrow them. The Kol people were inspired by Bhagat’s message, and they began to attack British outposts. The uprising spread quickly, and soon the Kol people were in control of large areas of Singhbhum.
The British were alarmed by the uprising, and they sent a large army to suppress it. The British army was successful in defeating the Kol people, and Bhagat was captured and executed. However, the uprising had a significant impact on the British, and it led to a number of reforms that improved the lives of the Kol people.
