Solution
The correct option is B
Pabna Revolt
Explanation:
In Bengal-where the spirit of rebellion had been kindled among the peasants of eastern and central districts, particularly where the Faraizi movement had prepared a moral ground for greater righteousness dissent and resistance persisted through to the closing decades of the nineteenth century.
The next most important event was the forming in 1873 of the Agrarian League in the Yusufshahi pargana of Pabna district during Pabna Revolt, where the oppression of a few new landlords pushed the peasants to the threshold of tolerance.
Similar leagues were formed in the adjoining districts of Bengal. The main leaders of the Agrarian League were Ishan Chandra Roy, Shambu Pal and Khoodi Mullah. The discontent continued till 1885 when the Government by the Bengal Tenancy Act of 1885 enhanced the occupancy rights.
The peasant ambition was to become the true subjects of the Queen; they formed the Agrarian League to raise money to take the landlords to courts, which were inundated with rent suites.
