Solution
The correct option is C
Both 1 and 2 Explanation:
Statement 1 is correct: Many uprisings were led by messiah-like figures. Example: Munda revolt started by Birsa Munda. These god-like figures created faith among the tribal people that colonial rule was responsible for their misery. Most of these leaders claimed to derive their authority from God.
Statement 2 is correct: These uprisings were localized & isolated, & lacked any modern feeling of nationalism. The movements were mostly violent & frequent.
